As The Oldest And Most Visible Community Development Organization In The Atlanta Area, Historic District Development Corporation (Hddc) Has A Singular Position As Role Model/Advisor And Innovator. Hddc Is In A Unique Location, Where History And Greatness Abound. Our Office Is In A 111 Year-Old Victorian House In The Martin Luther King, Jr. Historic District, A National Park In An Urban Setting. We Are Just Down The Street From The Mlk, Jr. Birth Home Which Attracts More Than 650,000 Visitors Each Year. This Part Of Atlanta Is Known As The Old Fourth Ward, Steeped In History, Now Making A Celebrated Comeback To Prosperity. Our Approach Emphasizes Historic Preservation - Retaining The Historic And Cultural Character Of The Existing Community; Non-Displacement - Maintaining Neighborhood Diversity By Retaining The Long-Term, Often Low- To Very Low-Income Residents Typically Removed From Revitalizing Areas; And Sustainability - Linking Mixed-Income Residential Development To Sustainable Economic Growth, Thereby Creating An Environment Where Families Can Be Self-Sufficient.
