The Community Development Agency (CDA) is headed by a Commissioner who is appointed by the Mayor. The CDA develops and coordinates community action programs in high poverty areas of the city.

Although the Community Development Agency comes under the Human Resources Administration, it answers to the Mayor on policy issues.
