Mission Statement

The mission of Riley Area Development Corporation is to create partnerships to develop, support, and enhance a diverse urban community fabric through:


  • the facilitation and development of affordable housing for the permanent inclusion of lower income residents in the Riley neighborhoods.

  • the promotion of increased density and mixed-use development to create a richly diverse and comfortable urban environment.

  • the creation of well planned, connected open space in order to provide an aesthetically pleasing urban experience.

  • the promotion and development of businesses for the provision of essential services.

Description

The Riley Area Development Corporation is a Community Development Corporation (CDC). CDCs are catalysts for community-led neighborhood rebirth through housing revitalization, economic development, and partnerships with crucial self-sufficiency programs. CDCs maximize public funds through alliances with financial institutions, equity investors, and individual donors.

Committed to helping neighborhoods direct their own economic destiny, Riley Area believes long-term revitalization of urban neighborhoods is most successful when it is resident driven.

Riley Area has a defined service area and is controlled by a neighborhood-based Board of Directors comprised of people who either live, work, or worship within the Riley Area.
