HISTORY
The Neighborhood Development Associates (NDA) (formerly the Lynn Community Development
Housing Corporation) is a non-profit organization that is an affiliate of the Lynn Housing
Authority & Neighborhood Development (LHAND). Established in 1979, the NDA was formulated
with the primary purpose of transforming targeted neighborhoods in Lynn ’s urban core. Since
its inception thirty years ago, NDA has become the driving force in the City of Lynn and has
demonstrated and maintained an ongoing commitment to these neighborhoods by reclaiming
and rehabilitating the land and thus, transforming many of these neighborhoods into stable,
healthy neighborhoods where residents take pride in their homes. With a concentrated focus on
bettering Lynn ’s “urban core”, NDA has effectively reduced population density, improved
housing conditions, and reinforced housing stability. NDA transforms neighborhoods, revitalizes
communities and creates opportunities.
The NDA is fully committed to meeting and sustaining all of the goals and objectives that were
set out thirty years ago, and will continue to maintain and surpass the same high standards that
have made the NDA a recognized local, regional and national leader in the neighborhood
revitalization and affordable housing.
