HISTORY

The Neighborhood Development Associates, Inc. (NDA) is a non-profit housing corporation that
is overseen by a dedicated and committed Board of Directors with the Lynn Housing Authority &
Neighborhood Development (LHAND) managing the administrative responsibilities on behalf of
the NDA Board.  Established in 1979, the NDA was formulated with the primary purpose of
transforming targeted neighborhoods in Lynn’s urban core through working with the City of
Lynn, LHAND and the citizens of Lynn.  Since its inception over 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 building property, 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 over crowded neighborhoods, improved housing conditions, and reinforced housing
stability.  NDA revitalizes communities and creates opportunities for first time homebuyers,
investors and renters.

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 neighborhood
revitalization and affordable housing.
