ACDC invests in people and the communities we call home.
“My old landlord wanted us to move out, and I couldn’t sleep at night because I was so worried and didn’t know where we would move to. I am so glad we can continue living in Chinatown. I know I am lucky that I get to live here at One Greenway, but there are many more people who weren’t so lucky and are still waiting for affordable housing. I hope there will be more affordable housing in Chinatown to benefit others.”
