Who We Are

About Us

The Danville Neighborhood Development Corporation (DNDC) was established in 2016 in Danville, Virginia. We are a nonprofit community development corporation with a vision that all residents live in thriving communities.

DNDC looks to improve its visibility and impact in the community as the area continues to grow and transform. At present, housing shortages are a concern for the city, and the organization desires to improve its visibility as a key partner in transforming middle neighborhoods.

Our Vision

All residents live in the city of Danville in thriving communities. 

Our Mission

To work alongside residents to reimagine, revitalize, build, and support thriving and sustainable neighborhoods in the city of Danville through housing investment and community development.

Our Focus

To create diverse and sustainable communities with a variety of housing types and amenities that give residents the opportunity to live a quality life and to have a voice in creating their future.

Our Guiding principles

We work to rebuild, repair, and revitalize neighborhoods by: 

Revitalizing
Communities

Acquiring vacant properties as rehabilitation projects to make targeted blocks more appealing on the housing market and create healthy thriving neighborhoods.

Preserving
Property

Helping homeowners and rental property owners maintain their property, make capital improvements, and improve the curb appeal of their homes.

Engaging
Community

Engaging residents, property owners, and trusted partners as co-advocates for home and neighborhood improvement.

Neighborhood
Investing

Serving as a catalyst to drive investment to historic and underserved neighborhoods.
