SOW CDC is working to breathe life into struggling communities. Organized in 2014 as a not for profit organization, Sow Community Development Corporation (Sow CDC) has a mission to build, repurpose and redevelop communities for sustainability while strengthening the capacity of its residents. This community founded organization recognizes that in order to build sustainable communities one must involve the residents and community stakeholders. With a foundation based in the Austin and Garfield areas of Chicago, Sow CDC is actively collaborating with like-minded individuals and groups to improve our communities one block, one neighborhood and one city at a time. Sow CDC seeks to alleviate poverty, develop housing, support youth and address the mental and physical needs of residents.
