CPDC's mission is to develop vibrant communities through innovation and partnerships.  To accomplish this, CPDC creates and preserves financially sound, socially responsible affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families and, in cooperation with community residents, develops community programs that strengthen communities and increase opportunities for growth. Since 1989, CPDC has been at the forefront of efforts to preserve affordable housing. Here's how. Our chairman, Eugene F.
