As
the Executive Director of Council of State Community Development
Agencies (COSCDA), I take great pride in welcoming you to our
official website. As you know, COSCDA supports the common interest
and goals of states, with major emphasis on community development,
affordable housing, local economic development and state-local
relations.
COSCDA
advocates for the interests of states with federal policy
makers. We analyze proposed legislation and budget initiatives,
help states share information about best practices and produce
a variety of newsletters and technical reports. In addition
we also offer COSCDA members technical assistance on a variety
of community development and housing related issues. My desire
is to provide our members and visitors with the latest information
on these important issues. Additionally, we strive to take
advantage of the latest technology to make constant improvements
in the look and navigation of our site - resulting in greater
utilization by our members. I trust that your visit will be
informative.
