Brightwood Development Corporation

Supporting Springfield’s small businesses, minority employment and low-income housing

Partners for Community has formed a strategic alliance with Brightwood Development Corporation (BDC), a non-profit community development organization. For over 20 years, BDC has been a financially stable, creative and energetic source of progress for Springfield’s North End neighborhood. BDC works to improve small business, affordable and low-income housing and minority employment conditions in the North End, including the city’s Memorial Square/Brightwood and Hungry Hill neighborhoods.

Many of the people served by Brightwood Development Corporation are Hispanic and Latino, and BDC runs a variety of family assistance, minority employment and community development programs designed to impact and improve conditions within its inner-city target area.

Brightwood Development Corporation receives funding from a variety of public and private sector sources, including state, county and city government agencies, as well as individual private donors.

BDC’s general areas of service include:

  • Expanding the supply of affordable and low-income housing
  • Promotion of small business assistance, with an emphasis on minority ownership
  • Neighborhood development through residential and commercial revitalization

Brightwood continually searches for new community development opportunities to assist Springfield in the 21st century.
