Beginnings
CD Publications was founded in 1961 by Ash Gerecht of Kansas City, MO, and his wife, Gloria. The company is headquartered at 8204 Fenton Street,
Silver Spring, MD .The first
newsletter published was "Housing Affairs Letter ". It was followed by "Community Development Digest " (1965), "Housing Market Report " (1976), "Managing Housing Letter" (1978), "Housing the Elderly" (1982) and "CD Housing Register " (1983).Expansion
In 1984, the company added senior affairs to its housing-related subjects with "
Aging News Alert ". In 1986, coverage was expanded to include grant-seeking with "Federal Assistance Monitor" and business in 1987 with "Minorities in Business Insider". New topics of coverage came in late 1998 when "Youth Crime Alert" and "Workplace Discrimination Alert" were founded. In late 2002, "State & Local Homeland Security Funding Report" was added. In early 2004, one of two new publications was "Healthcare Disparities Report", edited by Jim Byrne.Acquisitions
In late 1996, LRP Publications (Hotsham, PA) sold "Serving Elderly Clients", which CD Publications folded into the newly-launched "Senior Law Report". In late 1999, CD Pubs bought "The Maturing Marketplace" from Silver Spring-based Business Publishers, Inc., and folded it into "
Selling to Seniors ", which at the time was edited by Allison Patterson. BPI then sold "Federal Research Report" in January 2001 (according to one report), which CD Pubs added to "Federal Assistance Monitor". The company acquired "Inside Housing" from Housing Ink, also of Silver Spring, in mid 2001 and merged it into "Housing Market Report ", the report which also gained the readership of "Construction News" when that title was bought from Evans Publishing of Portland, Oregon, in December 2004.In the second half of 2004, CD Publications acquired "Health Grants & Contracts Weekly" from LRP Publications of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and folded it into the twice-monthly "
Community Health Funding Report ". In Fall 2006, the company acquired "Native American Report" and "Native American Law Report" from Eli Research and combined them into "Native American Report ". It also acquired "Child Protection Report" from the same group.ales, Cancellations, Internal Mergers
In late 2006, "Managing Housing Letter" was merged with "Landlord Law Report" (est. 1998) to form "
Landlord Law & Multi-housing Report ". Around the same time, "Child Protection Report" was folded into "Children & Youth Funding Report ", following an attempt to promote the former publication on its own.In January 2007, "Aid For Education Report", "Disability Funding Report" and "Substance Abuse Funding News" were converted to online-only publications in an attempt to lower costs and save them from cancellation. However, by mid year, "DFN" had been folded into "SAF" to create "
Substance Abuse & Disability Services Report ", and "AFE" was cancelled. As part of the same deal in which the company acquired "NAR" and "CPR", CD Publications sold "Homeland Security Funding Report" to Eli.Publications (Current)
