The Social Development Centre Waterloo Region (SDC) was incorporated in 1967 after years of local mobilizing around social justice issues. Over the years, we have incubated countless community projects, grassroots groups, and sibling non-profits, including A Better Tent City, KW Accessibility, and Land Back Camp. As an organization that embodies the phrase, "nothing about us without us," we believe that lived experience should be the basis for policy and decision-making, and that grassroots and community-based solutions are the foundation of social justice and collective action. Today our primary pillars are Housing & Homelessness, Grassroots Infrastructure, and Lived Expertise. Our programs include Civic Hub Waterloo Region, Eviction Prevention, Lived Expertise Consulting, and Festival of Neighbourhoods.
