RCD’s Community Development Initiative
As a key element of our recently completed strategic plan, RCD is starting a Community Development Initiative. The Initiative will examine and support RCD’s readiness to provide comprehensive community programs to all residents of neighborhoods where RCD operates affordable housing, beyond the residents of the housing projects themselves. The goal is to focus RCD’s community development efforts in a small number of neighborhoods, which will allow for the maximum positive impact on the quality of residents’ lives through broader community programs and partnerships.

Major Job Responsibilities and Duties:
The Community Development Project Manager (CDPM), under the direction and supervision of RCD’s Executive Director, will have responsibility for analyzing whether RCD should undertake comprehensive community development in at least one neighborhood in which RCD has previously developed affordable housing. The CDPM will lead the selection of the first neighborhood, guide the planning of projects and programs in that community, shape the initial implementation of these activities, and engage and involve partners and residents in all of the work. RCD’s longer run plan, once work at a first site shows value, is to select at least a second neighborhood for community development work and involve the CDPM in repeating the process.
