About JACKSON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

Location:

3263 E KERCKHOFF AVE, FRESNO, CA 93702, US

Mission Statement

Jackson CDC is committed to resident-led community development. Inspired by the people of Jackson, our organization is committed to listening to the residents and experimenting with their solutions to solve some of the neighborhood’s great challenges.

Description

Our History:
Our founding residents, Joe and Heidi White, realized that their neighbors had so many good ideas for how to solve some of Jackson’s greatest challenges. They also realized that institutions typically served their neighbor’s perceived needs without listening to their actual needs. They utilized the best practices of asset-based community development and created Jackson CDC in collaboration with residents to listen to their neighbors as well as utilize their gifts and passions for creative solutions that address real neighborhood problems. They also prioritized collaboration with Neighborhood Church - a local church in Jackson as well as other churches, non-profits, and the City of Fresno with the fundamental belief that partnership is the only way to catalyze sustainable change in Jackson. Our Jackson Neighborhood: The Jackson Neighborhood represents 3300 neighbors and 923 homes. Our organization is entirely resident-led. Our board and staff all live in the Jackson neighborhood and every single one of our initiatives was created and is sustained by neighborhood volunteers. We offer our community a place to put their ideas into action!
