Housing Opportunity Development Corporation (HODC) is a community-based nonprofit developer of affordable housing founded in 1983. HODC’s mission is to develop, manage and preserve housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households primarily in Chicago’s northern suburbs. By offering rental units at prices affordable to people making less than $40,000 per year, HODC works to overcome the obstacle of access to opportunity. Without first having basic access to shelter, none of life’s other necessities or issues can be addressed. Having a safe, affordable place to live is the core of a healthy life today. The need for affordable housing only grows as wages stagnate and housing costs skyrocket, especially in suburban areas. HODC’s work is compelled by the principle that every additional unit HODC develops or preserves results in a direct and tangible difference for the individuals and families who live with us.
