ABOUT OMEGA CDC

The Omega CDC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established by the Omega Baptist Church in 1997. Our mission is to equip individuals, families, and children with resources, tools, and opportunities to break the cycle of generational poverty and achieve self-sufficiency through education, workforce development, and advocacy. With over 20 years of active involvement in the community, Omega CDC has developed a strong presence in Northwest Dayton and built a unique level of trust and familiarity with thousands of local residents and numerous community organizations. To strengthen and expand its impact, the Omega CDC has developed a multi-phased strategic plan to re-develop a 30-acre property in Northwest Dayton in collaboration with government, education, healthcare, and other nonprofit and social service agencies in Dayton and across Miami Valley. The multi-phase plan entails building a community center, the Hope Center for Families, opened in November 2021; a senior housing facility, the Omega Senior Lofts, which opened May 30, 2020; dedicated space for outdoor recreation; an amphitheater; and a worship center.
