Harmony CDC

What Harmony CDC does

Harmony Community Development Corporation (Harmony CDC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2001 by Concord Church under Dr. E.K. Bailey and re-established in 2007 by Dr. Bryan Carter to deliver holistic, wraparound social services to underserved residents of Southern Dallas. The organization operates from a single campus at 6969 Pastor Bailey Drive in Dallas's South Oak Cliff area, organized around four service pillars: Help (Food Pantry plus legal/referral services), Housing (rental, mortgage and utility assistance, eviction prevention, housing stability), Health (the Harmony Counseling Center offering individual, marriage, family, and youth therapy), and Hope (Career Pathway, Financial Pathway, YES youth program, and Whole & Empowered women's cohort). Service delivery is community-led: clients complete a detailed intake questionnaire that produces a self-sufficiency matrix, with volunteer coaches developing individualized plans. In 2021 the organization reported serving 25,000+ people annually, distributing food to 10,920 individuals, channeling $2 million in rental assistance to 670 families, and providing counseling to 1,564 clients (19% year-over-year growth) with a full-time staff of approximately 18 plus dozens of volunteers.

The underlying technology stack is minimal by design: no proprietary platform, no public API, and intake forms run on Formstack; donor and newsletter infrastructure runs on Network for Good. The business model is donation-and-grant-funded, with services provided free of charge to qualifying clients. Revenue streams consist of individual and corporate donations (including North Texas Giving Day and End-of-Year Giving campaigns), foundation and corporate grants (notably the $200,000 Bank of America Neighborhood Builders award in 2021 and the North Texas Food Bank Hope For Tomorrow grant in 2025), and partnership funding (Capital One-led multi-organization initiative with Bonton Farms, TREC, and TREC Community Investors in 2022). Key operational partners include Concord Church (founding anchor and 8,000-member congregation), United Way, the City of Dallas, Legal Aid of Northwest Texas, Housing Forward (Rapid Rehousing Case Management), and Momentus Health Services. Leadership comprises Executive Director Mark Porter, Senior Director of Operations Isaac Burren, Senior Director of Advancement Kristen McNeal, plus four program directors and an LPC-S Director of Counseling (Dr. Nelina R. Moffett); governance is provided by a board chaired by Dr. Bryan Carter. Harmony CDC has no M&A activity, no patents or trademarks, and no subsidiaries.

Direct peers

• Vogel Alcove: Dallas nonprofit providing therapeutic early childhood services for children and families experiencing homelessness. Comparable wraparound family-stability model for high-need Dallas County clients with a similar faith-rooted origin story.
• CitySquare: Dallas-based anti-poverty nonprofit operating a wraparound service model across housing, food, health, and workforce development. Operates the same "one-stop-shop" approach for Southern Dallas-area residents and is the most directly comparable peer in the immediate geography.
• Brother Bill's Helping Hand: Dallas faith-rooted nonprofit providing food, clothing, medical care, ESL, and adult education in West Dallas. Closely comparable community-development model serving low-income families with integrated wraparound programming and a church-anchor origin.
• Austin Street Center: Dallas nonprofit providing shelter, housing, and supportive services for people experiencing homelessness. Strong overlap on housing-stability services and Rapid Rehousing case management (Harmony CDC partners with Housing Forward's Street to Home team).
• Bonton Farms: Dallas nonprofit addressing food access and economic mobility in the same South Dallas/Bonton zip codes. Direct partner in the Capital One equity initiative alongside Harmony CDC and offers overlapping food-security and workforce-development programming.

Regional players

• Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas: Youth-development organization serving similar age groups (including teens) in Dallas with comparable college/career readiness, mentorship, and leadership programming. Most directly comparable to Harmony CDC's YES Program for grades 8–12.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Charities Dallas: Regional arm of a national faith-based social services network providing immigration, housing, counseling, and emergency assistance in Dallas. Comparable faith-rooted, multi-program wraparound model but at institutional scale across a wider service area.
• The Salvation Army of North Texas: Large established national faith-based social services organization operating across food, housing, counseling, and youth programming in the same Dallas market. Provides overlapping services but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.

Others

• United Way Metropolitan Dallas: Listed as a Harmony CDC strategic partner and the largest aggregated funder of Dallas-area human services. Functions as an ecosystem orchestrator rather than direct service provider, but is a key funding channel and peer for capacity-building comparison.

Emerging players

• North Texas Food Bank: Regional food bank that is both a Harmony CDC partner (TEFAP supplier, 2025 Hope For Tomorrow grantor) and a comparable organization in the food-security space. Operates a more centralized food-distribution model across a 13-county service area.
