CPC As A Developer:
Decent, safe, and affordable housing for low income immigrants has always been a problem for residents of the Chinese American community. Since its inception, CPC, with its limited financial and manpower resources, has attempted to find solutions to the problem. It began first as an advocate, later as a developer, and currently as both advocate and manager. As a result, CPC in 1980 became the first Chinese American not for profit developer in the greater New York area, having built three projects with over 270 modern subsidized units, which house over 350 tenants.

CPC continues to pursue the construction and development of additional units of affordable housing. These projects are economic enterprises that create construction and management jobs, thus boosting the local economy, in addition to assisting individuals secure decent affordable housing

Housing for a special population:
Tucked away in a small apartment building in a residential section of Queens, is a home for a group of four developmentally disabled Chinese women. Unable to fend for themselves, these women have found a safe haven in a CPC group residence that offers counseling and supportive services. During the day, they attend a day treatment program and at night, they return to their apartment that offers a home-like atmosphere. Under the guidance of a professional team, these women find a positive alternative to institutional care.
