Southeast CDC

Since then, the SECDC has focused on commercial projects in the Highlandtown community. Major properties were successfully redeveloped as a youth center, a performing arts center, a public library, and a private residence. In most of these cases the organization was not the ultimate developer, but was able to facilitate the accomplishment of community priorities through funding and site control.

The SECDC also became one of the largest HUD-certified housing counseling agencies in the Baltimore metropolitan area. The SECDC offers a full-service housing counseling service that includes financial counseling, first-time homebuyers counseling, foreclosure prevention counseling, and all other aspects of owning a home or preserving a home.

After 2000, the CDC also began to operate a number of community revitalization programs in the greater Highlandtown area. It sought and obtained designations through the State Arts and Entertainment District, Baltimore City Main Streets, and Healthy Neighborhoods, Inc.
