From our Members

COSCDA ensures states are represented to HUD and Congress. In Maine, efficient program management is critical for us in dedicating resources to community-based initiatives. COSCDA is our key partner in meeting this goal.

Colorado’s Department of Local Affairs benefits extensively from COSCDA’s advocacy and training. This work is pivotal to our efforts in community-based developments including housing, homelessness, and disaster recovery.

Louisiana’s Office of Community Development is committed to helping our communities build a better future, and HUD resources prove indispensable to this mission. Through COSCDA, we have a strong relationship with federal partners and can participate in training to advance our program. COSCDA also provides helpful opportunities to connect with and learn from colleagues across the country.
Traci Watts

COSCDA has long been an invaluable resource for states; Massachusetts’ programs thrive thanks to COSCDA’s ongoing work with HUD, Hill staff, and other partner advocacy organizations. Access to HUD leaders, as well as to informative programmatic discussion and training opportunities are key benefits to member states. Of course, the organization provides a forum to forge helpful and lasting peer relationships. State staff in any of the CPD program areas are able to participate in various ways. COSCDA staff are tremendously hardworking and dedicated to the members. Together, we work for stronger and more vibrant programs.
