ECDC - Houston Multicultural Center

The Houston Multicultural Center is the newest branch office of the ECDC, serving the refugee communities in the Houston area. We receive refugee families and provide support and case management in areas of housing, school enrollment, benefits enrollment, healthcare, cultural orientation, employment, and more.

The Ethiopian Community Development Council, Inc. (ECDC), established in 1983, is a non-profit, community-based organization that advocates on behalf of refugee and immigrant issues; conducts cultural, health education, and socio-economic development programs; and resettles refugees in the U.S. through a network of affiliate partners. While organized to respond initially to the needs of a growing Ethiopian community in the Washington, D.C., area, ECDC has been serving newcomers from diverse cultural backgrounds while maintaining a focus on African refugees and immigrants. ECDC has been resettling refugees from around the world since 1991.
