Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation

The mission of JPNDC is to promote equitable development and equal opportunity in Jamaica Plain and adjacent neighborhoods through affordable housing, organizing, and economic opportunity initiatives that improve the lives of low- and moderate-income people and create a better community for all. We believe that people are entitled to live in healthy homes they can afford. When this happens, communities are strengthened and individuals and families have a foundation to thrive today and into the future. We believe that collective action is key to creating a more just and vibrant community. We believe that collective action is key to creating a more just and vibrant community. We believe that all members of a community should have access to opportunities that allow them to increase their income and assets. We believe that communities are stronger when people’s different identities are honored and people with diverse perspectives shape future directions. We believe that the issues our community faces require bold and creative approaches and that we must be willing to take risks in order to find real solutions. Our vision at JPNDC is for a vibrant, stable and diverse community in which people from all walks of life enjoy decent housing in a caring neighborhood, good jobs and opportunities to build careers or businesses, political power, and a promising future for our children.
