Our Story
Founded in 2000, Promise Land Community Development Corporation (PLCDC) was established with a bold vision: to revitalize troubled neighborhoods and uplift the families who call them home. For over two decades, Promise Land has worked at the grassroots level — building stronger communities by focusing on the areas that matter most: housing, economic empowerment, disaster resilience, and civic leadership. Initially serving Richmond County, Promise Land spent nearly seven years directly addressing the needs of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Through programs promoting homeownership, rehabilitating single- and multi-family homes, and nurturing local leadership, PLCDC helped renew pride, restore confidence, and spark reinvestment within the community. Today, Promise Land is a recognized leader in community revitalization, proudly certified as a HUD-Approved Housing Counseling Agency and a State-Certified Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO).
Our work has expanded beyond Richmond County, carrying our mission forward into new communities that need it most. Across all we do, our commitment remains the same:
-
Build affordable, stable homes
-
Strengthen financial futures
-
Empower residents to lead lasting change
-
Prepare communities for a resilient tomorrow ​
As we continue to grow, Promise Land remains rooted in the belief that every family deserves a safe home, a voice in their neighborhood, and an opportunity to thrive.
