Neuse River Community Development Corporation

Neuse River Community Development Corporation, Inc. (NRCDC) provides community development solutions through housing, education, advocacy and economic development. NRCDC is a licensed 501(c)3 tax exempt Community Development Corporation that was formed in 1996 to address housing and community development needs in the local wealth neighborhoods of New Bern and Craven County.

NRCDC has addressed the limited supply of quality affordable housing by partnering with the former Weyerhaeuser company and other organizations to rehabilitate donated houses providing homes for low and moderate income families in the Greater Duffyfield Community.

In addition, NRCDC has partnered with our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity by providing land to build Habitat homes. NRCDC’s history also includes partnering with the US Census Bureau, sponsoring the Community Festival Duffest for over ten years, and sponsoring the African American Oral History Project.
