CNHED advances community development solutions that address the inequity of under-resourced communities in the District
About us
The Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development (CNHED) is a dynamic nonprofit that advances community economic development solutions that address the inequity of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and other under-resourced communities in the District of Columbia. Our holistic systems change approach encompasses community-informed budget and policy advocacy, data-driven thought leadership, and needs-based program initiatives in Housing and Homelessness, Workforce Development, Small and minority-Owned Business Ecosystem Building, and community engagement. Since its inception in 2000, CNHED has grown from 55 organizations to nearly 140 today. CNHED’s strength is in its convening power, highly successful advocacy, robust communications and information sharing, and equipping its members with tools and resources for their work.

Vivica Brooks, owner of TBG Trains graduated from the fourth cohort of our ELEVATE program in May. We are thrilled to learn she was able to streamline her business practices as a result of her experience in ELEVATE! In case you didn't know, ELEVATE provides best-in-class training to minority-owned small businesses located in DC and is the only local minority executive education program that is backed by a university partner (The George Washington University School of Business).

We can ideate a lot of ways to help DC’s small businesses at the community level, but without philanthropic support, those solutions can’t go anywhere. Without the money, we cannot launch or sustain these innovative ideas, leaving us ill-equipped to help the community. CNHED deeply appreciates the shared vision we have with Truist on how to better support the District’s small business community. We’re incredibly grateful for their continued engagement and philanthropic support, without which, DCSmallBizHelp.com wouldn’t be possible!
