The Cornerstone Community Development Corporation (CCDC), Inc., was established in 1995 to assist with improving the quality of life of the residents in the South Dallas/Fair Park community by providing services to assist them in breaking out of the cycle of poverty and empower individuals to move forward as contributing members of the community.
Throughout the years we've established several programs in the community which helps and continues to make the community livable for residents on a weekly basis.
