***** Thai CDC: Empowering the Neighborhood
The Thai Community Development Center (Thai CDC), a non-profit organization, was founded in April 1994 on the idea that all peoples have a basic right to a decent standard of living and quality of life. Our mission is "to advance the social and economic well-being of low and moderate income Thais and other ethnic communities in the greater Los Angeles area through a comprehensive community development strategy including affordable housing, access to healthcare, promotion of small businesses, neighborhood empowerment and social enterprises."
Thai CDC facilitated the official designation of the one and only Thai Town in the world located in Hollywood, California. Thai CDC aims to create a thriving community by creating businesses and jobs, developing decent and affordable housing and revitalizing public spaces while empowering immigrants, low-wage workers, and victims of human trafficking. In fact, the famed El Monte Slavery Case, the first case of modern day slavery in the United States was vigorously fought by Thai CDC and our human rights allies until justice was achieved for the victims.
