 TACDC Fact Sheet

TACDC is a trade association, created through the cooperative efforts of its members.  A number of years ago, CDCs saw the need to band together to more effectively advocate for the interests of the communities they serve.  They also sought to create a source for training, research, and services for practitioners in the Community Development field.  TACDC has over 160 members spanning the state and reflecting Texas' diversity and geography.  Our membership is engaged in producing affordable housing and community economic development.  TACDC advocates for a supportive environment at the local, state, and federal levels on behalf of those that create and preserve homes, jobs, small businesses and other community assets.
