Dee Cotton
President
Island Walk Resident Association
“I have worked on many volunteer jobs throughout my life, but I can truly say that the Island Walk revitalization was the most interesting, frustrating, time consuming, and rewarding work in which I have ever been involved. It has been a great pleasure working with CPDC to preserve our homes. The best part is that I am one of the 102 families who affordable housing has been saved.” |

James G. Banks
Board of Directors
Community Preservation and Development Corporation
“The ideal solution to the concentration of poverty would be to have all new housing development, apartments, and single-family homes include some small number for impoverished people, no matter where they are, regardless of whether they are funded by government or privately sponsored.” |

Paul Browne
Real Estate Development Officer
Community Preservation and Development Corporation
“The preservation of affordable housing is never done in a vacuum. A lot of people have to work long and hard to wrestle a project to completion. CPDC's collaboration with investors, government, and residents at Island Walk is a perfect example of the approach that is required to get over the obstacles that are unavoidable in our industry.” |

Milton J. Bailey
Executive Director
D.C. Housing Finance Agency
“It is not just about sticks and bricks. It’s the investment in the human mortar between those sticks and bricks that binds the social fabric of our society and makes new communities work. It is about providing a family or a senior citizen with a safe and lasting harbor while we nurture our children within that sanctuary. It is about the ability of our students to sit at a computer and have the entire world at their fingertips; and it’s about gathering peacefully in community rooms to discuss and plan the future of our neighborhoods. It is all of these things that have made and keeps CPDC great.” |

“There is a critical shortage of affordable housing, that is both an economic issue and a social issue, that is beginning to severely impact cities in the mid-Atlantic. CPDC seeks creative solutions to address these issues now and for the long term. ” |

“Community-based health care through the use of advanced home health care technologies will drastically change the way we look at medicine. Instead of today's episodic care, the paradigm will move towards prevention and health maintenance and to facilitate aging-in-place for our seniors. Projects at Edgewood Terrace can serve as a model for the nation.” |
