Building a Better Future, One Community at a Time

Ascension's Path to Inclusive Homeownership 

Welcome to Ascension CDC, a Charlotte-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to transforming homeownership in Charlotte. Founded by James Scruggs of Kingdom Development Partners and in partnership with Hugh McColl Jr., our mission is to create vibrant communities and open doors to homeownership for all. With a focus on inclusive growth and community empowerment, Ascension drives impactful public-private partnerships that revitalize neighborhoods. Led by Scruggs' expertise in real estate, development, and investment, Ascension is committed to making homeownership and wealth creation accessible to moderate-income families and underrepresented communities.

From Dreams to Reality: Ascension's Efforts in Homeownership Access 

We aim to provide attainable homes in vibrant mixed-income communities, fostering homeownership and neighborhood growth. We prioritize sustainability by creating financially viable, socially, and environmentally responsible communities through diverse housing, financial literacy programs, and community development. By integrating affordable housing with educational and economic opportunities, we empower individuals to build long-term wealth. Our approach promotes inclusivity, ensuring that all residents have the resources they need to thrive.
