The Fairmount Indigo CDC Collaborative — which includes partner organizations Codman Square NDC and Southwest Boston CDC — serves the predominantly low- and moderate-income neighborhoods along the Fairmount Commuter Rail Line from Hyde Park to North Dorchester in Boston. The Fairmount Indigo CDC Collaborative and its member CDCs have strong track records of building thriving and diverse neighborhoods — building new affordable and mixed-income housing, creating development opportunities, and developing avenues to foster resident and youth leadership. Together, we are helping to bring more reliable and affordable public transit options and new investments in housing, commercial development, and open space to benefit the residents living within the Fairmount Corridor.
