Honoring Our Legacy and Looking Ahead |
|
The year was 1971. Lancaster County was in need of safe, affordable housing. Grounded in a deep commitment to service in Columbia (PA), a small group of committed Catholics founded what would become HDC MidAtlantic. What began with a single affordable housing community serving 133 seniors grew to encompass 54 communities serving over 4,000 residents, seniors and families in PA, DE, and MD and, this year, HDC MidAtlantic celebrates 50 years of operations. The longevity and success of HDC can be attributed to the vision of the leadership, the talent of the staff, the dedication of the board, the partnership of the residents and the support of the community stakeholders. Rooted in a call to service and transformed into an agent of change, HDC believes that housing is a human right that must be available to all.
With the ongoing pandemic and economic downturn, HDC has faced many challenges, from keeping residents and staff safe to moving projects forward amid financial uncertainty. HDC staff and leadership continue to confront these obstacles with determination, empathy, and passion and the organization is poised to enter its 50th year stronger than ever.

We are proud, in our 50th year to introduce new Board leadership, new board chair, Diane V. Elliott, and vice-chair, Angela Steele, two leaders whose complementary strengths and talents and dedication to HDC’s mission will support the commitment to transformational change rooted in advancing equity and impact.
Working in partnership with Dana Hanchin, President & CEO, the Board will continue to respond to community and organizational needs, explore and implement creative solutions, form new partnerships, and continue to build a world where everyone has a safe, welcoming, affordable place to call home. Here’s to the next 50 years!

As we kick off our 50th anniversary celebration, we’d like to introduce hdcweb.org! In 2020, we introduced a fresh new visual identity and voice for HDC inspired by the hope and opportunity we aim to build within our communities. We’ve been working hard to update our website to truly bring this identity to life, making it easier to find available apartments, seek job opportunities, and donate to HDC.
Our new website is also accessible in seven languages and features more inclusive design elements to assist those living with disabilities. Check it out and get to know us better!
