Who We Are

About Thrive

our mission

Housing is the foundation, not the finish line.

Thrive Community Development Corporation supports families before, during, and after they achieve housing stability. We believe housing is the foundation of a thriving life, not the finish line. Our work connects families to the full ecosystem surrounding a stable home: outreach and navigation, housing, food security, economic opportunity, education, family and senior enrichment, and health and wellness. The everyday support that helps families stay rooted and grow, generation after generation.
What “CDC” Means

Community-Driven Development

Thrive is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit and Community Development Corporation (CDC), a designation that reflects our long-term commitment to community-owned, community-driven development. It’s also what allows Thrive to grow into eligibility for HUD, CDFI Fund, and major foundation partnerships as we scale.
