Social Development Commission (SDC) operates in Milwaukee County, delivering planning, coordination, and delivery of human service programs for individuals and families. It was established in 1963 as an intergovernmental body under Wisconsin statute and became the county’s Community Action Agency in 1964. Its activities emphasize research, fostering collaboration, planning, advocacy, program operation, and the cultivation of positive human relations to support the community. SDC runs more than twenty programs across five core service areas—asset development, family strengthening, employment, education and training, and support services—and serves tens of thousands of residents each year. The organization aims to ensure equal access to resources that enable economic self-sufficiency and operates with a commitment to treating people with compassion, dignity, and respect. In June 2024, Jackie Q. Carter joined the SDC board after appointment approval by the Milwaukee Common Council.
