Stable Housing. Thriving Businesses. Strong Communities.

Working families deserve the investment it takes to build wealth and advance their family's financial position. 

Since 1991, 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 long-term financial stability and prosperity — by buying or staying in their homes, and by starting or expanding their businesses. The entire DC-Maryland-Virginia region is stronger when all families have the power to achieve financial independence and join their peers to improve their neighborhoods. 

Our Mission: LEDC catalyzes the economic advancement of Latinos and local communities by bridging the gap to capital and resources to achieve financial prosperity.
