OUR HISTORY

Incorporated in 1993, the Central County Community Development Corporation was established as a subsidiary of the Urban League of Broward County to initially address the revitalization of neighborhood blight in unincorporated Broward County. 


The CCCDC has developed single-family homes in many neighborhoods and cities in Broward County, including Broward Estates, Washington Park, Plantation, and unincorporated areas. The CCCDC was a founding partner of a coalition of non-profit affordable housing developers called the Broward Alliance for Neighborhood Development (BAND). The premise of the coalition was to “BAND” together to leverage resources and talent that could translate into a competitive advantage when seeking resources for affordable housing development. 


Over the decades, the CCCDC has been recognized as a reputable, nonprofit housing developer and annually is recognized by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). 


In 2015, the Urban League decided to expand its work in community and economic development by adding small business support and lending to its community solutions. The mission of the CCCDC was expanded to include access to capital and small business technical assistance. 

In 2019, the U.S. Department of Treasury certified the CCCDC as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). 


Message from the Chair

Germaine Smith-Baugh, Ed.D

President & CEO, Urban League of Broward County


Welcome to the Central County Community Development Corporation!


The Central County Community Development Corporation (CCCDC) builds on the mission of the Urban League of Broward County which has promoted social and economic equality since 1975. Consistent with its long-term objective of advancing racial equity through community and economic development, the CCCDC works to address disparities that have made communities of color vulnerable. We accomplish by strengthening the social health of our community through minority entrepreneurship and business growth, job creation and affordable housing development.


Research suggests that Black residents in underserved neighborhoods are more likely to experience higher rates of unemployment and poverty while lacking access to quality healthcare, high wage jobs and affordable housing. As the Urban League’s subsidiary, it is incumbent upon us to narrow the growing racial wealth gap exacerbated by these barriers through innovative, community-driven solutions that help families build and protect their assets.


The generosity from our investors, funders and partners has played an essential role in the CCCDC’s development, expansion and community impact. We hope you will join us as we create opportunities that allow communities of color to realize the wealth-building potential of Urban League neighborhoods across South Florida.
