Manna CDC is a progressive organizing and equitable community development organization working primarily in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC.

? can be used by Tenant Associations, community members, organizers, popular educators and K-12 teachers
? provides a clear path for organizing and strengthening the skills and leadership of residents to retake their rights to community controlled housing
? delivers popularized technical assistance for tenant associations seeking to organize and to purchase their buildings
? provides a comprehensive approach to community organizing that moves beyond simple affordable housing advocacy

On Friday, January 21 Manna CDC unveiled Building by Building and will ?go public? with its new phase of work and mission.
