Community Building & Organizing
ACDC's community building work is a key part of ACDC's holistic approach of investing in people, places, and power. By offering structured opportunities for residents to engage with ACDC and in the broader community, our aim is to strengthen resident leadership and community power.
Our Programs
We get to know residents through activities, events, and play programming that foster a sense of belonging. From there, we invite residents to join leadership and placekeeping cohorts, through which they can build the skills, knowledge, and confidence to become active designers, planners, and advocates in their neighborhoods.

Past Projects
Community Visioning on Chinatown’s Parcel 12
The Chinatown community visioning exercise for Parcel 12 furthers the mission of the Chinatown Master Plan 2010, which identified Parcel 12 as a priority development site for affordable housing. The Plan recognized that affordable housing is the lifeline that preserves the core Chinatown community of working-class, immigrant households.
