Human Development Infrastructure™
Connecting Resources. Creating Community Benefits.
Our Community Benefits Ecosystem is coordinated through the Community Development Operating System (CDOS), with a focus on developing people, strengthening institutional capacity, and documenting measurable community benefits.
Our Roots in
Civil Rights
Roots OF Rights
CORE Cohort Alliance CDC grew out of Dr. Shain Eddie Hymon, Sr.’s strategy for continuation, modernization, and expansion during his presidency and board service at CORE California.
He formed an independent corporation to bring his Human Development Infrastructure™ model to life, contributing the model’s intellectual property, infrastructure architecture, and software development.
That history connects our civil rights roots to a practical model for year-round community development. Read our story.
