Description

Description About the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) is a nonprofit affiliate established by the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HACM) to support and expand the agency’s mission through more flexible and innovative housing solutions. While HDC falls under the broader oversight of HACM, it operates independently in many day-to-day functions—particularly in property management and asset oversight—allowing it to manage real estate holdings that are not restricted by federal public housing or Section 8 regulations. HDC is responsible for the management, maintenance, and tenant services of properties developed, acquired, or rehabilitated through non-HUD funding sources, including tax credit and other mixed-finance models. These properties adhere to high standards of compliance and affordability while allowing for more agile decision-making, customized resident services, and operational strategies. Employees working under HDC are dedicated to providing excellent customer service, efficient operations, and well-maintained communities. Although they are part of the larger HACM family, their work directly supports HDC’s strategic goals, ensuring the long-term sustainability and quality of housing opportunities across Monterey County.
