NASCO Development Services (formerly known as Campus Cooperative Development Corporation, or CCDC) is the arm of the NASCO Family of organizations set up to help with the development of cooperatives. Our goal is to help to create resident-controlled, affordable housing cooperatives - primarily those that are student, youth, or campus-oriented.  

To make this happen, NASCO Development Services provides education, outreach and project management support to existing and new cooperatives. This can include the formation of new housing cooperatives, or the improvement of existing ones through refinancing or physical improvements to the cooperative.  We assist new or existing coops in obtaining primary and gap financing, as well as permanent funding and refinancing packages, usually on a fee-for-service or success fee basis. 

Our Vision is to work towards a future in which higher education is affordable and accessible to all, and in which students have many opportunities to gain entrepreneurial skills and practice civic responsibility. Cooperative housing is an optimal strategy to attain this vision; therefore we will strive to make it available to all students, especially those with the least access to higher education. 

Our Mission is to expand access to higher education, enhance academic and professional achievement, and develop civic responsibility by developing community/resident-controlled campus- area housing cooperatives, providing outreach, education, technical assistance, and project development/management services. We are committed to serving the needs of all students, and proactively seeks to serve students who are low-income, minority, disabled, working, and parents.
