What We Do

Wdc (Women's Development Corporation) is a leader in the design, development and production of housing for low-income families, elderly and groups with special needs. In 1979, Wdc was founded by professional women with expertise in architecture and design, project and property management, community planning, historic preservation and neighborhood development. Wdc staff consists of women and men dedicated to providing excellence in design and thoughtfulness in building, through which they strengthen communities and lives.

Federal, state and private financing allows Wdc to produce safe, desirable and permanent housing for RI cities and towns. With these funds, Wdc preserves and restores historic buildings, constructs new, environmentally responsible housing and revitalizes neighborhoods. Wdc also serves as an impetus for economic development by enhancing tax revenues for cities and towns and creating local construction and management jobs.
