Thai Community Development Center (Thai CDC), a community development non-profit organization since 1994, facilitated the designation of the one and only Thai Town in the world located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and founded the Thai New Year's Day Songkran Festival.Thai CDC aims to create a thriving community by creating businesses and jobs, developing decent and affordable housing, and revitalizing public space.Thai CDC serves economically disadvantaged populations including immigrants, low-wage workers, and victims of human trafficking. In fact, the famed El Monte Slavery Case, the first case of modern day slavery in the United States, was vigorously fought by Thai CDC and our human rights allies until justice was achieved for the victims.
