The Wingohocking Street Project illustrates best how the Nicetown CDC partners with Youthbuild to redevelop vacant and blighted properties for homeownership. Properties that were an eyesore and had been deteriorating for almost two decades were redeveloped for first time homeowners. The project was certified LEED Platinum with the highest level of energy efficiency. The Nicetown CDC has grown over the years and increased their capacity to complete small and larger scale scattered site redevelopments for homeownership.

The Nicetown CDC has secured and invested more than $40 million for affordable housing in Nicetown and currently has an affordable homeownership project in the pipeline in West Philadelphia.
