Our Mission

 

Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation acts to build a strong, thriving, and diverse community in Boston and Dorchester neighborhoods. Working closely with neighborhood residents and partners, we access resources to:

  • Create and sustain commercial and economic development opportunities

  • Develop and preserve affordable homeownership and rental housing

  • Build community power through organizing and leadership development

Dorchester Bay History

  • Founded in 1979 by local civic groups.

  • Addresses problems of economic disinvestment, quality and affordable housing, unemployment, crime, and community tensions resulting from prejudice, discrimination, and language barriers.

  • Geographically includes 51% African American & Cape Verdean, 15% Latino, 30% Caucasian. 4% Asian.  Three commercial districts; a high percentage of distressed but owner-occupied housing; and two of Boston's old major manufacturing areas.

  • DBEDC is now a member of the United States Green Building Council
