HISTORY
The
Human Resource Development Council of District IX (HRDC)
is a Community Action Agency focused on helping
low-income individuals, families, and communities lift
themselves out of poverty. Founded in 1975, HRDC
operated home health care, micro-business lending, Head
Start, youth development, energy conservation, and
senior and disabled transportation programs.
In
the early 1990's, HRDC tackled a broader community
development mission, developing and preserving
affordable housing and building public facilities.
In
1992, HRDC received one of twelve Best Practices Awards
given by U.S. HUD Secretary Kemp and Labor Secretary
Martin. It recognized HRDC's success in designing and
implementing programs that combined housing, employment,
training, and other social services. In 1996, HRDC
received a Fannie Mae Foundation "Maxwell Award of
Excellence" for its housing development activities. |
