Who We Are

The Coalition for Responsible Community Development (CRCD) was founded in 2005 to improve the quality of life in South Los Angeles through a comprehensive approach to neighborhood-based services.

We are dedicated to providing education and workforce development opportunities to youth and adults while striving to ensure that new developments actively benefit the region’s residents. Our focus includes fostering opportunities for small business growth, promoting affordable housing, and sustaining legacy businesses while supporting new economic development initiatives in the area.
