Institute Community Development Initiative (ICDI)

Institute Community Development Initiative leads North Carolina’s collaborative community economic development efforts, driving innovation, investment, and action to create prosperous, sustainable communities.

Our work with North Carolina communities involves strategic investment, smart policy, and sector leadership. Whether investing in our state’s most promising affordable housing developers, helping communities rebuild after hurricanes and other disasters, shaping state and local policy, supporting community revitalization driven by the needs of community members, or building a pipeline of future community development leaders, the Initiative is working to create thriving communities with opportunity for all.
