In this the fifth decade of HADC (1979) we celebrate its successful rehabilitation of 300 blighted properties and its stock of 50 affordable apartments with a collection of fundraising and support campaigns we call the Fifth Decade.  The ongoing revitalization of Allentown’s commercial center challenges HADC to increase capacity, strengthen community, and impact the quality of life in its mission “To Build a Sustainable Community” in the Jordan Heights Neighborhood just to the north of City Center.

Fifth Decade is the 12-month Parent Campaign with several targeted sub-campaigns to raise operational funds, general funds and in-kind donations for the purpose of increasing capacity and efficiency.  The value of Fifth Decade (all the campaigns together) is targeted at $1,000,000.  The individual sub-campaigns are as follows:

  • Liberty 500 Street House Dedications                $10,000
  • In-Kindness                                                              $90,000
  • YouthBuild Guild House                                      $250,000
  • Allentown Vision 2030                                         $250,000
  • Home Sweet Home: Rental Rehab                     $400,000                                                                                                                                                                                      $1,000,000
