Organization and role of the MLK-CDC

The MLK Health and Wellness Community Development Corporation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity, was created by concerned citizens and stakeholders to facilitate the revitalization of the MLK Medical Campus in South Los Angeles. The MLK-CDC board is comprised of highly regarded civic leaders and skilled professionals of Los Angeles who can call upon other highly respected individuals and organizations as technical advisers with expertise in real estate, public contracting, leasing, finance, and construction management.

Funding sources and campus projects

The California Endowment and the Weingart Foundation contributed the necessary general operating funds to allow the MLK-CDC to act as a facilitator for the MLK Medical Campus.

The MLK-CDC raised funds for feasibility studies for the adaptive reuse of the former King-Drew Hospital, the infrastructure plan for the Charles R. Drew University of Science and Medicine; and new furniture and equipment for the MLK Pediatric Clinic HUB that moved into the Jacqueline Avant Children and Family Center. Additional funds have been raised for emergency food vouchers, MTA Tap cards, clothing, and hygiene products for patients at the MLK Outpatient Center.
