Who We Are

Community Development Corporation of Long Island (CDCLI), a regional non-profit organization, was founded in 1969 by government, business, and civic leaders on Long Island who came together to address the growing demand for affordable housing. That strong tri-sector support continues today. CDCLI is a regional and national leader in community development, employs more than 85 people, serves both Nassau and Suffolk counties and Brooklyn, and provides a variety of programs and services that address the dynamic challenges faced by those who live and work on Long Island.

CDCLI is committed to making dreams of long-term economic stability come true. As a chartered member of NeighborWorks®, CDCLI is certified to meet a high standard of fiscal integrity and service performance to assist local residents in achieving their dreams, and is recognized by NeighborWorks® as both an “Exemplary Organization” and a certified “Green Organization.”  CDCLI is a significant force for revitalizing and building strong communities, because home matters for all people. Our tagline, “We Invest in Your Dreams,” captures the spirit and passion of this remarkable organization of committed employees, board members, and partners.
