Who We Are
IncDev is an Alliance of developers, builders and civic leaders committed to equipping local entrepreneurs and civic leaders to strengthen their neighborhoods through small-scale real estate projects.
Our trainings help ordinary neighbors navigate regulations, plan projects that pencil out, prepare solid contracts and nurture relationships in the community.
We envision neighborhoods regenerated by small developers who care deeply about the places where they live and build.
Our Impact
We started our work in 2015 with a simple proposition: small scale developers could share their hard-won lessons with folks who wanted to try their own hand at development.
Today, we’ve trained more than 10,000 small developers in 30+ states.
Our program alumni are renovating duplexes, redeveloping storefronts, building backyard cottages and making a measurable impact on the housing and small businesses in their cities.
Our IncDev Faculty are seasoned developers and municipal leaders pioneering a path toward more resilient, affordable housing, rooted in the communities where they live.
Our past trainings have been hosted and supported by:
The Knight Foundation
The Kresge Foundation
LISC
Urban Land Institute
Congress for the New Urbanism
And dozens of cities and states from coast to coast.
