Ohio Department of Development's Community Development Division

The Ohio Department of Development's Community Development Division (CDD) administers a variety of state- and federally funded programs that benefit Ohio individuals and families. CDD coordinates its programs to form a comprehensive strategy to build stronger, healthier communities throughout the state. Through partnerships with local governments, community action agencies, other community-based nonprofit service providers and private-sector funding sources, CDD helps to:

  • support local economic development activities to create and retain jobs;
  • rehabilitate communities and neighborhoods through affordable housing and infrastructure improvements;
  • provide weatherization services, energy efficiency incentives and assistance with home heating bills;
  • provide emergency shelter, transitional and permanent housing for the homeless; and
  • provide job training and emergency food, shelter and medical services.

Healthy communities are vital to Ohio's social and economic wellbeing. The Community Development Division continues to establish and expand upon successful and meaningful partnerships as we work to make Ohio a better place for people and businesses to call home. By strengthening local communities, CDD is creating a brighter future for Ohio today and well into the 21st century.
