Southbridge WILMINGTON
Southbridge Community development corporation | South Wilmington Planning Network
With HCD support, the South Wilmington Planning Network (SWPN) and Civic Association facilitated a community-driven planning process to create a Southbridge Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP). The inactive Southbridge Community Development Corporation was revived to act as a backbone organization to coordinate the community development efforts of SWPN, Southbridge Civic Association, and other stakeholders. The Southbridge CDC has grown its capacity and spearheaded efforts to address housing, environment and community engagement.

Haniffa Shabazz, Southbridge CDC
"The monthly partner meetings are very effective as they able us to see what other organizations are doing, how they did it, and where there are possible partnerships. HCD's numerous support has helped address hurdles, that would have cost extreme time and hindered the progress our organization has made. The technical support helped kick off the SBCDC's presence on social media. The HCD staff provided hands-on support and provided skill sets at that time were not available from the community."
