Building Stronger Communities Through Equitable Housing

At The Conscious Connect CDC, we believe that safe, quality, and affordable housing is a cornerstone of thriving communities. Across Springfield and Dayton, the need for dignified, accessible housing has grown increasingly urgent. Families are burdened by rising rents, aging housing stock, and limited pathways to homeownership. These challenges are particularly acute in historically underinvested neighborhoods, where decades of disinvestment, redlining, and systemic inequities have limited opportunity and community well-being.

In response, we are committed to creating mixed-income housing opportunities that blend affordable and market-rate units—ensuring inclusive, vibrant neighborhoods where individuals and families of all backgrounds can live and grow together.

Our approach includes:

  • Restoring life to the existing housing stock by transforming neglected homes into beautiful, energy-efficient residences.

  • Constructing new homes on vacant lots to revitalize neighborhoods, improve density, and increase housing options for renters and homeowners alike.

    We proudly serve the entire cities of Springfield and Dayton, with intentional focus on:

        •    South Springfield

        •    Northwest Dayton

        •    West Dayton

    Our work centers equity and community voice, ensuring residents are not displaced but rather empowered through inclusive development practices.

  • To realize this vision, we actively collaborate with a diverse ecosystem of partners, including:

        •    Affordable Housing Developers

        •    General Contractors and Construction Firms

        •    Association Financial Institutions and Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs)

        •    Municipal Governments and Land Banks

        •    Architects, Urban Planners, and Engineers

        •    Nonprofit Housing Organizations

        •    Neighborhood Associations

Together, we aim to create pathways to housing stability, wealth-building, and community pride for generations to come.

If you are an individual or organization aligned with this mission, we invite you to partner with us as we reimagine housing—and community—from the inside out.
