Stable Housing. Thriving Businesses. Strong Communities.

Working families deserve the necessary investment to build wealth and advance their family’s financial position.

LEDC equips individuals and families with the skills and financial tools to create a better future for themselves and their neighborhoods. Participants in our programs learn how to build their long-term financial stability and prosperity by buying or staying in their homes, and starting or expanding their business. The entire DC-MD-VA region is stronger when all families have the power to achieve financial independence and join with their peers to improve their neighborhoods.
