Encouraging people to be involved in the life of their residential communities is central to the structure of CPDC's Human Services division. One of the major ways in which residents can participate in community life is through membership in the resident associations. This involvement is a step towards identifying with neighbors and participating in seeking joint solutions to common issues. CPDC also takes a very active role in seeking training for resident associations that helps them be inclusive and active in representing the greater residential community. Another way of for residents to be involved is by participating in the CPDC Community Investment Program. This system provides opportunities for residents to exchange community volunteering hours for services that CPDC and some of its partners provide on site. Residents can access computer training, job training and placement opportunities, after school educational and recreational programs, and many other benefits by agreeing to "give back" a few hours.
