CDTech (a.k.a. – Community Development Technologies Center) is a nationally recognized non- profit organization dedicated to promoting economic opportunities and justice for low income residents and communities throughout Greater Los Angeles.
CDTech is a catalyst for change. We take pride in over ten years of success in both transforming lives and advancing new approaches to workforce, leadership and asset development.
CDTech pioneered:
- The nation’s first community college degree and skills program in community development
- The nation’s first and largest employer-based Individual Development Account (IDA) Program
- One of only three degree programs in mortgage lending, and
- The region’s first sector development and employment programs in both low wage and high wage industries.
These initiatives – among others – have changed the lives of thousands of inner city families and businesses, the capacity of community serving organizations and, in the process, they have been instrumental in testing and modeling new economic development approaches and technologies.
