Historical Highlights
Some Important Milestones in the History of Community Development Finance and NDC
Neighborhood Business Revitalization Program (NBR). An interagency initiative, designed by NDC for Congress and the President, and implemented by NDC on behalf of HUD, EDA and SBA, in cities across the country. Begun in 1977, this effort resulted in more than $10 billion in community investment in its early years. NDC both implemented the program and built local capacity in participating communities to carry it on. With local capacity in place, NDC’s role ended, but the tools are still among the most important community development resources in use today.
Small Business Revitalization Program (SBR). Following the successful NBR Program, SBR applied the same approach at the state level, implemented by NDC for the same federal agencies, beginning in 1982. The effort was equally successful, generating investment of more than $10 billion in the participating states. As with NBR, the tools are still used extensively for community development financing.
SBA Local Development Corporation Program (LDC). In 1969 NDC recognized that SBA’s 502 LDC Program was underused in general and never used in urban areas. In a five-year pioneering urban application of the program, NDC completed loans totaling more than $10 million. Later, working with Congress and the President, NDC helped create a new capitalization method to replace direct Federal appropriations for this program, and implemented a six-city LDC 502 demonstration project. With the success of that project, 502 was substantially expanded and revised, becoming Section 503 and 504. The program has generated more than $20 billion in neighborhood business financing, and is responsible for lending $1.0 billion a year.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). In the mid-1970s about 95 percent of CDBG funds were used only for housing and small community programs, with little or no leveraging. NDC pioneered the use of CDBG for the now nearly universally used, self-sustaining and revolving community loan funds for job creation and neighborhood commercial revitalization.
HUD Section 108 and CDBG “Float.” In 1978, working with HUD and Congress, NDC helped create an approach which made it possible to use the HUD 108 Loan Program for economic development, an application which previously had not been feasible. In the same year, NDC invented and pioneered in the use of the CDBG Float – a special way to double the usefulness of CDBG funds. As with our other innovations, these are still in use today, generating billions of dollars of economic impact.
About NDC
The National Development Council is the oldest national non-profit community and economic development organizations in the U.S. It was founded in 1969 with one purpose: increasing the flow of capital for investment, jobs and community development to under served urban and rural areas across the country. Since that time, NDC has worked with thousands of communities in every one of the 50 states and Puerto Rico, providing technical assistance, professional training, investment in affordable housing, small business financing and direct developer services. Our work has taken many forms, but we have kept pace with the needs of our constituents, adding new programs and services or updating old ones.
Recently, NDC has:
- Loaned more than $80 million to small businesses for projects with total investments of $130 million
- Invested nearly $320 million in equity for affordable housing or historic preservation projects (leveraging an additional $280 million)
- Financed and developed nearly $1.1 billion in public facilities
- Financed New Markets Tax Credit projects totaling $360 million
- Each year trained more than 3,000 economic housing development practitioners
- Generated hundreds of millions in Technical Assistance
And through Technical Assistance, our client communities have generated hundreds of millions of dollars of additional private and public investment for their community and economic development projects and programs.
NDC’s staff of former bankers, developers, entrepreneurs, community and economic development officials and government agency lenders understands the needs and concerns of both the private and public sectors, so we help our client communities bridge the differences.
- Like private investment bankers, we match the best sources of capital with project needs. But we do it for Main Street, not Wall Street
- Like private developers, we organize all that’s needed to build high quality projects, efficiently and at the lowest possible cost, and then we build them. But we do it for public and community benefit.
- Like private lenders, we provide SBA-backed credit for small businesses. But we lend for community development purposes
