NCDF is a private, non-profit developer and manager of affordable housing. It was founded in 1968 when priests, ministers and rabbis from the Newton Clergy Association joined forces with the Church Women United Organization to address Newton's need for affordable housing.
NCDF has developed six properties in Newton and manages an additional two properties all of which provide homes to hundreds of low- to moderate-income families, senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Market rent apartments are also available at several of its properties.
