Mission at DNDA

Integrating Art, Nature, and Neighborhood to build and sustain a dynamic Delridge.

About Us

Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association (DNDA) is a non‐profit organization devoted to social, racial and environmental justice.

We are dedicated to preserving and increasing affordable housing for a range of incomes, enhancing the natural environment, and providing such vital resources as arts and cultural opportunities, education and youth programs for our neighbors. Our programs for affordable housing and wetland restoration have become models for other communities. 

We rely on donor support to help fund the programs that build and sustain a dynamic Delridge community.
