The East Dayton Neighborhood Development Corporation (EDNDC) was

originally established in 2015 as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization to

hold and manage property on behalf of its parent organization, East End

Community Services.

 

At that time, we operated under the name East End Neighborhood

Development Corporation (EENDC) and functioned as a housing development

arm within the larger East End Community Services organization. 

 

Under the leadership of Jan Lepore-Jentleson, Founder and Executive Director

of East End Community Services, the NDC began its work focused on building

and stabilizing housing in the Twin Towers neighborhood and supporting

long-term community development goals.

 

On September 1, 2024, when she stepped away from the leadership position

at East End Community Services, the Neighborhood Development Corporation

was formally re-established as an independent organization – dedicated solely

to housing and community development.

 

To reflect our growing role and broader geographic focus, our Board of

Directors voted in March 2025 to rename the organization the East Dayton Neighborhood Development Corporation.

 

While our name has changed, our mission remains the same:

To ensure a strong, inclusive, and thriving community for all who

call East Dayton home.
