Founded in 1992, The Association of Oregon Community Development Organizations (AOCDO) is a membership-based organization that represents those with an interest in affordable housing and community development.   This includes over 50 nonprofit developers of low-income affordable housing throughout the state of Oregon, and those who support their efforts, including banks, law firms, government entities, and technical assistance providers.

These organizations serve a number of populations, including but not limited to, homeless and working poor individuals and families, persons with mental and physical disabilities, elderly, and youth. AOCDO helps CDCs improve the breadth and depth of their work in the community.
