Built around community.

AAMA Community Development Corporation was formed in 1988 to address the Hispanic community’s unmet needs in housing, economic development, and community revitalization.

Our mission

Our mission and purpose is to develop neighborhood initiatives that provide housing opportunities, economic development opportunities, and community revitalization efforts, primarily in Houston’s East End.

A foundation in the East End

In 1993, the CDC began its operations in earnest with the initial Low-Income Housing Tax Credit project, Plaza De Magnolia. In 1998, new initiatives expanded our presence into South Texas and other Hispanic communities.

Our development history includes affordable multifamily housing, a community services facility in Edinburg, business development assistance, and educational facilities.

Our early years

Independent from the beginning

The CDC was chartered as an approved State of Texas non-profit corporation, with IRS-approved 501(c)(3) status.

From the beginning the AAMA-CDC has been a stand-alone entity with independent governance and financial responsibility. The AAMA-CDC is not affiliated with AAMA, Inc.
