Congress Heights Community Training And Development Corporation (CHCTDC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, incorporated on April 20, 1988, under the laws of the Government of the District of Columbia. CHCTDC was founded for the purpose of improving the quality of life of residents in Washington, D.C., East of the River, Anacostia, Congress Heights, Southeast D.C. and surrounding parts of Maryland in economically depressed areas by providing job placement opportunities that would aid in the reduction of unemployment and underemployment by promoting self sufficiency. These thrusts would be realized through educational, vocational, job readiness, and job placement opportunities to improve residents’ capabilities to compete in a competitive job market.
