Mission & Focus Areas

CPC’s stated mission is “to combat community deterioration, promote the general welfare, and lessen the burdens of government by providing debt and/or equity financing for low & moderate income housing.”

Its lending and investment work supports the construction, rehabilitation, preservation, and financing of affordable and workforce housing. CPC also describes work on energy-efficient housing and support for emerging developers. Its website reports that its ACCESS initiative provides financial resources, capacity-building opportunities, and technical assistance to entrepreneurs who have historically faced barriers to entry in real estate development.

CPC’s 2025 filing reports $63,000 in direct lobbying expenses related to affordable housing legislation. It says lobbying is not a substantial part of the corporation’s activities.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2025, CPC reported 15 grants totaling $225,434. Grants ranged from $5,500 to $35,000, with a median of $10,000. The listed grants were for general support.

Among the largest recipients were New York Housing Conference ($35,000), Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress ($25,700), Westhab Inc.
