THE ECDO DIFFERENCE.
One Community. Many Needs. One Connected Approach.
Families rarely experience challenges one at a time.
Housing costs can affect a family's finances. Financial stress can affect a parent's ability to work. Access to childcare can affect employment. A child's education can affect a family's long-term opportunity.
That's why ECDO's work does not exist in separate silos.
We connect housing, early childhood education, family support, economic opportunity, and community leadership because strong communities require all of them.
For more than four decades, we have built relationships, developed community infrastructure, and worked alongside Harlem residents to help ensure that the people who call Harlem home can continue to live, learn, work, raise their families, and thrive here.
