Opus Dei Community Development Corporation

Opus Dei means ” God Works “.

We at Opus Dei CDC believe that God works in all we do.

Owning one’s own house, and having a place to call home – are at the core of the American Dream. Homeownership represents freedom, and independence, and is a fundamental component of strong families and stable neighborhoods.

Many are shut out of that dream because of a severe lack of affordable housing. We are working to eradicate homelessness and the factors that
create it.

Opus Dei has been approved by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development to obtain housing so they may provide affordable housing to the economically disadvantage. We are also negotiating aggressively with the city to provide housing and services to the chronically homeless in the city.

We have come to recognize the correlation between addiction, poverty, mental health and homelessness. Our goal is to address the issues that are the root causes of homelessness and helplessness in our communities.

Opus Dei is a fledgling organization that is just beginning to put its programs into fruition.
