emphasis on East Little Havana) and engages in commercial and residential development
ventures.

and affordable housing projects and programs.

neighborhood which has Miami's highest concentration of persons under the poverty
level. In 1993 the Corporation expanded its service boundaries to serve residents
of various other low income neighborhoods in Miami-Dade County.

facilities, providing services, and building affordable housing. ELHCDC helps residents
