Since the first uncertain weeks of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corporation (NDC) has continued to offer desperately needed services to Dorchester residents even as its physical office remained closed.
Tracing its roots to local activism in the 1970s and 1980s, the non-profit has worked to promote affordable housing, homeownership, equitable transit options, and economic development in Codman Square for more than 40 years. The pandemic only added to the group’s already monumental workload, said executive director Gail Latimore in an interview.
“We’re working on the same body of work that we’ve always done, which is affordable housing and commercial development, including the economic line of business, the community organizing line of business, and the development line of business.”
