Our Mission

The Community Development Partnership (CDP) nurtures a vibrant Lower Cape region by promoting environmental and economic sustainability, expanding opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, and preserving our unique cultural and historic character.

We embrace this mission so that:

  • There are more year round job opportunities at good wages
  • Working people have a decent and safe place to live
  • The outflow of working people will stop
  • The values of a true community wide society are reflected
  • People will embrace new business opportunities and trends
  • The work of other housing advocates on the Lower Cape is strengthened

We know that we are successful when:

  • There is an increase in the number of jobs at good wages available on the Lower Cape
  • There is an increase in revenue/profits for small businesses
  • There is an increase in the number of attractive, quality affordable housing units on the Lower Cape
  • There is an increase in the number of people living in affordable housing on the Lower Cape
  • The Lower Cape community views us as a valuable resource for housing and economic development programs and services

Some of our core values include:

  • Partnership and collaboration
  • Visionary thinking and leadership
  • Empowerment and individual responsibility
  • Respect and dignity for people of all income levels, ethnicities, backgrounds and abilities
  • Concern for our natural environment
