New Kensington CDC

Founded in 1985, New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC) is a community-driven, trauma-informed, and equity-focused nonprofit that uses real estate development, community engagement, and direct services to meet the housing needs of Philadelphia’s Kensington, Port Richmond, and Fishtown residents. NKCDC is renovating its former office at 2513-2515 Frankford Avenue in Philadelphia, which consists of two adjacent, three-story row homes in the Kensington neighborhood totaling nearly 5,000 square feet. A $1.08 million construction-to-perm loan from NFF will fund renovations to revitalize two ground-floor retail spaces and four affordable housing units on the upper floors.
