Dorchester Bay EDC was founded in 1979 by local civic associations to address the problems of economic disinvestment, unemployment, crime, community tensions and the shortage of quality affordable housing undermining Boston's Dorchester neighborhoods. Today, with both economic growth and income inequality on the rise, many of these problems remain as we face new challenges such as gentrification and displacement. Our mission is more relevant than ever before. Visit www.dbedc.org to learn more about our efforts to support strong people in sustaining stronger, more secure and safer neighborhoods.
