Community Preservation and Development Corporation (CPDC), a non-profit organization, is a leader in the affordable housing industry. Traditionally, the focus of affordable housing has been on bricks and mortar, concrete and steel. Properties were built or renovated on their potential for financial viability. But we understand that true profit/loss lies not merely in the structure, but also in the lives of those living there. Therefore, we develop communities.
We believe that a sustainable community depends upon a safe environment where residents have the opportunity to prosper and become part of the economic mainstream. Thus, CPDC has chosen to make investments that seek a different sort of dividend, that go beyond traditional property development. We invest in people and in communities, as well as in real estate.
Our Real Estate team expertly manages and supervises every phase of a development project—from design, to financing, to construction—and expertly manages the asset for long term affordability and sustainability. Our developments are equally as impressive for their aesthetic design as for their community amenities and technological assets. And our use of financial tools, as well as collaboration and partnership support, has been nationally recognized for innovation in preserving affordability and creating mixed income communities.
Beyond the physical design and property operations, we encourage and support residents in their efforts to seek job training & education and to build relationships that support and sustain the community. Residents explore their strengths and weaknesses and how to build on both. They discover their potential and how they can contribute to their community. They find their voice. And, in this process, they also learn that changes a person makes can extend beyond a single job, an apartment, a community... a lifetime.
Whether you wish to learn more about our philosophy, the community development programs, or to even join our vision, this site will demonstrate how individual and community effort can transform the physical and economic world where we live. |
