Working families deserve to live in affordable homes and own successful small businesses -- but too many are unable to turn these dreams into reality. The Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC) equips Latinos and other underserved DC, MD, VA, and Puerto Rico residents with the skills and financial tools to create a better future for their families and communities. Participants in our programs learn how to buy and stay in their homes, take control of decisions affecting their apartment buildings, and start or expand small businesses. Communities are stronger when all families have the power to achieve financial independence and join with their neighbors to improve their quality of life. Stable housing, thriving businesses, strong communities - that's LEDC.
