At Community Development Partners, we are deeply proud of our track record of providing award-winning solutions to housing. We work every day to achieve our mission of creating life-enhancing affordable housing that transcends the fundamental goal of providing high quality homes by building innovative and sustainable developments with a focus on long-term community engagement. As a mission-driven certified B Corp, we are unique in our field as a for-profit developer that leads with our impact goals. Since our inception in 2012, we have built a portfolio of nearly 3,000 homes with another 1,000 in our pipeline, amounting to over $1.2 billion in total development costs.

Sure, that’s what we do, and we are passionately committed to it, but equally as important is who we are as a team. We believe in forward progress, continuous collaboration, authentic connection, and mixing it all up with a healthy dose of fun. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we offer a full suite of benefits that includes highly subsidized insurance, retirement plan with matching contributions, a sabbatical program, cell phone reimbursement, PTO, and more.
