Race, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

As a successful affordable housing, community development, support services organization based in three incredible immigrant gateway communities of color, The Neighborhood Developers (TND) cares deeply about race, equity, diversity, and inclusion.  Living up to our mission -- to create strong neighborhoods, enabling community members to secure a stable home, achieve economic mobility, and determine their own future -- requires that TND fully represent the diversity and breadth of our communities through our people, programs, values, and priorities.

Our goal is to create an inclusive environment in which members of our team and community can remove barriers throughout our organization and communities caused by social injustice, inequality, inequity, and racial trauma.  We are committed to elevating the voices of our team and community to reach this goal and have developed powerful ways to do so.

We recognize that we all, unfortunately, live in a racist society, but we don’t accept the status quo.  Rather, we envision, and are actively working towards, a world without racism and prejudices that honors the culture, knowledge, power, and healing of Black, Indigenous, Immigrant, and Communities of Color.  Considering our mission, and what is at stake, we see it as our collective responsibility to take decisive action and invite you to join us.
