Helping People and Communities Become, and Remain, Economically Secure

The Insight Center for Community Economic Development, formerly the National Economic Development and Law Center (NEDLC), is a national research, consulting, and legal organization dedicated to building economic health and opportunity in vulnerable communities.

We work in collaboration with foundations, nonprofits, educational institutions, government and businesses to develop, strengthen and promote programs and public policy that:

  • Lead to good jobs—jobs that pay enough to support a family, offer benefits and the opportunity to advance
  • Strengthen early care and education systems so that children can thrive and parents can work or go to school
  • Enable people and communities to build financial and educational assets
