The History of NRCDC

Neighborhood Recovery Community Development Corporation  (NRCDC) is a Houston-based not-for-profit community development corporation (CDC). NRCDC was established in 1990 to create thriving, self-reliant, and inclusive communities citywide with a primary focus on south central Houston and has served the Third Ward since 1992. Pastor Emeritus Rev. William A. Lawson and Archbishop Emeritus Joseph Fiorenza, founded the organization after recognizing families were in grave need of assistance and the community was in critical need of economic development. Through its efforts, independently and collaboratively, NRCDC has created complementary programs that include real estate development, economic development, community revitalization, and educational enhancement.
