The NTCDC delivers a comprehensive array of social services via its NAC program from its headquarters in Nicetown, as well as its
satellite office in West Oak Lane. Through contracts, collaborations, and partnerships with City, State, and private agencies, the
NTCDC has established the following:.
The Nicetown CDC totally redeveloped this formerly abandoned property located at 4300 Germantown Avenue. It houses the NTCDC Neighborhood Energy Center, Computer Lab, and Mural Arts After School Program. The NTCDC Community Center also provides a meeting place for the Block Captains.
In 2002, the City selected the Nicetown CDC to be the administrator for the Nicetown Neighborhood Advisory Committee, which is known today as the NTCDC/NAC. This program is governed by the Office of Housing & Community Development, and administered by a resident-elected Committee, to deliver vital social services to low-moderate income residents in the NTCDC/NAC service area. In 2006, this service area was expanded from 7 to 12 census tracts, and today the NTCDC/NAC also operates a satellite office at the West Oak Lane Office Center - 2001 Tulpehocken Street. This site is provided by the Ogontz Avenue Revitalization Corporation, (OARC) a community development partner of the NTCDC. The NTCDC/NAC is a program of the NTCDC which ensures citizen participation in the community development process.
The Energy Coordinating Agency contracts community based agencies to provide energy related services in low income neighborhoods across Philadelphia. Since 2004, the NTCDC has provided assistance and support to qualified clients in need of help with utility bills, heater repair, weatherization, and energy conservation education.
The NTCDC Community Center has a computer lab that provides free access to computers for internet job search, academic requirements, and computer literacy classes.
The NTCDC is contracted by the City of Philadelphia and PA Horticultural Society to maintain more than 230 vacant land parcels in Northwest Philadelphia.
To address chronic food insecurity issues, the NTCDC partners with SHARE and Feed The Children to provide food to needy residents in the service area.
Since 2008, the NTCDC has partnered with the Mural Arts Program, to provide after school and summer art education and enrichment for youth ages 10-18.
