Urban Action Community Development

Urban Action Community Development (UACD) is a Baltimore-based, National Community Development Entity (CDE), dedicated to neighborhood transformation with a focus on catalytic projects that promote Fresh Food Access, Healthcare Access, and the Innovation Economy. Since 2003, UACD has successfully deployed over $269 MM in New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) allocation into distressed low-income communities creating more than 6,247 direct permanent jobs and deploying an additional $4.43 MM in technical support and direct investment funding around UACD projects.

To further leverage UACD’s NMTC and to increase community impact, UACD requires that 3% of its allocation be contributed to American Communities Trust (ACT). ACT is a not-for-profit dedicated to building social impact in urban and low-income communities across the U.S. through high-impact, targeted investments in workforce development, public health, food systems, and the innovation economy. This partnership directly benefits the communities surrounding UACD investments, and supports long-term relationships that sustain and strengthen community outcomes.
