CPC believes that housing is central to transforming underserved neighborhoods into thriving communities. We are working to expand housing access and seek new ways to lower the cost of producing affordable housing. Since our founding in 1974, CPC has delivered more than $15 billion for the creation or preservation of more than 230,000 homes for more than one million people.
CPC is dedicated to providing financial resources and technical assistance to entrepreneurs of color who have historically faced barriers to entry in the real estate development market. Since the creation of CPC ACCESS in August 2020 through FY 24, our commitment across the company has resulted in investments with BIPOC developers totaling more than $500 million to help finance development projects and grow and scale their businesses.
CPC is committed to expanding our investment in improving building performance through our lending and investing in multifamily housing, and our knowledge sharing and advocacy work. To date, CPC has invested more than $2 billion in energy efficient, affordable and workforce multifamily housing and financed more than 13,000 energy-efficient and high performance homes.
In a testament to CPC’s innovative approach and unmatched impact over five decades, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) selected a CPC-led partnership for the acquisition of a $5.8 billion loan portfolio, secured by New York City properties containing nearly 35,000 apartments. CPC will service the 868 loans in the portfolio, the majority of which is rent regulated.
In fiscal year 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the selection of Climate United, a national nonprofit coalition composed of CPC Climate Capital, Climate United Fund, and Self-Help Climate Capital to be the recipient of a $6.97 billion grant award.
CPC Climate Capital, a subsidiary of CPC, was created to lead the coalition’s multifamily strategy.

Thank you to the customers, partners, and team members whose commitment and collaboration helped elevate our impact in Fiscal Year 2024. Looking ahead, we will continue building on CPC’s 50-year history of meeting the unique housing needs of communities and delivering loans and investments that transform neighborhoods and the lives of the people who call them home.
At CPC, we value the vital role our nonprofit partners and peers play in providing services and resources that help to support and empower residents of their communities. CPC Connections is an employee-led initiative that expands our impact, beyond our traditional lending and investing, by connecting CPC team members to our nonprofit partners and the neighborhoods we serve together.
CPC has proudly worked alongside Community League of the Heights (CLOTH) for decades to bring positive change to the residents of the Washington Heights, Inwood and Hamilton Heights neighborhoods we serve together. As part of our commitment to deepening our impact in communities, CPC supported CLOTH’s fall backpack drive for the young students of the 1700-unit New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) portfolio that CPC and partners renovated, preserved, and continue to manage.
During the holidays, CPC collaborated with CLOTH and our PACT Renaissance Collaborative partners to donate, wrap, and give away more than 1,000 toys for children living in the NYCHA portfolio.
CPC partnered with The City of Syracuse and New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) to host a Developers Summit for emerging entrepreneurs in the Syracuse area. The role of this summit was to provide financial and educational resources to empower Black, Indigenous or people of color (BIPOC) real estate entrepreneurs to compete in the market, and to expand access to affordable, quality housing in communities of color.
Following the close of FY 24, CPC’s 50th Anniversary Service Day celebrated the organization’s five decades of lending and investing in The Bronx with a volunteer event to help revitalize the Roberto Clemente Ballfield at Crotona Park. The CPC team’s efforts in collaboration with NYC Partnership for Parks made a positive difference in the daily lives of the many New Yorkers who use and enjoy the park. More than 100 CPC volunteers volunteered to paint, weed, and revitalize the ballfield, resulting in:
CPC’s Policy and Government Affairs Team harnesses data and expertise to advance comprehensive housing policy, legislation, and solutions supportive of CPC’s mission and in alignment with our city, state, and federal legislative agendas. With education and outreach, CPC fosters the implementation of policies and programs that recognize housing as central to transforming underserved neighborhoods into vibrant and thriving communities.
In FY 24, CPC’s Policy Team:
Some of this year’s highlights include:
In early 2024, Community Stabilization Partners (CSP), a CPC-led joint venture, took over servicing and asset management for a portion of the rent stabilized multifamily commercial real estate loan portfolio formerly held by Signature Bank containing approximately 35,000 units across approximately 1,100 buildings in New York City, the majority of which are rent stabilized. The Policy Team has been instrumental in coordinating CSP’s work with the relevant stakeholders – forming and leading the CSP Roundtable, a quarterly convening of key government agencies, tenant advocates, and building owner representatives. The Roundtable has been an invaluable forum to gather information on community priorities and share high-level information about CSP’s portfolio management, supporting CSP’s goal to improve physical and financial health of this critical housing stock, while maximizing recoveries to government.
Amidst New York City’s ongoing affordable housing crisis, the Adams Administration and Department of City Planning has laid out a visionary proposal to comprehensively modernize the City’s zoning code and make it possible to build a little more housing in every neighborhood. CPC stood with our industry and government partners on City of Yes from the beginning and we are proud to have spoken in support of City of Yes before both the City Planning Commission and the City Council.
Driving a Pro-Housing Agenda Statewide: In February of 2024, CPC’s SVP for External Affairs Erin Burns-Maine testified in front of the NY State Joint Legislative Hearing on Housing to voice our support for commonsense reforms and targeted programs to increase the production of new housing and support the preservation of existing affordable housing across the state. Throughout the legislative session, CPC shared our data and analysis with Legislators to inform the policy discussions happening in Albany, and we were happy to see our insights incorporated into the new 485-x program and the upgrades to IAIs, both successful in the final budget.
Over the course of the year, the Policy team worked to build coalitions and move the industry forward by submitting comments on critical tools to support housing production across the country. This included preparing for the 2025 tax package by joining the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition, a bipartisan coalition working to expand and strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, the nation’s most successful financing incentive for the development and preservation of affordable housing. CPC submitted public comments to the Ways & Means Tax Team on Community Development to advance the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act and the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act in the tax package. CPC also submitted written comments in response to the Federal Housing Finance Agencies’ (FHFA) Loan Banking System and commented on FHFA’s proposed Duty to Serve plan for 2025-2027.
The Policy Team led an effort to gather over 350 letters of support to submit alongside Climate United’s application to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF), which awarded Climate United a $6.97 billion award in April of 2024.
CPC believes that our employees are our greatest asset. We are committed to ensuring that our employees reflect the communities where we operate and to creating new opportunities for our employees to grow, connect, and give back by supporting the communities we serve together.
Our values define who we are as an organization and guide the way we work with our partners, within our communities, and with each other.
FY 24 saw CPC grow to continue meeting the organization’s mission and expand our impact, with a 14 percent increase in our employee count compared to FY 23.
CPC delivered new resources to bolster employee wellbeing and performance, including an inclusive leadership training program for all people leaders and staff, an executive coaching initiative, and a formal mentorship program. Additionally, the company’s first wellness fair empowered employees with tips, knowledge and resources on how to take better care of their overall wellbeing. CPC also implemented a medical expense reimbursement plan to manage annual healthcare costs for our employees.
CPC also introduced two new awards to recognize exceptional employees: the CEO award, focused on fostering inclusion and belonging, and the President’s award, focused on commitment to mentorship and employee development.
We believe building a culture of belonging where all of our employees are connected to our mission is important for the success of our organization. CPC continued to advance our strategic goals with 11 employee-led events in FY 24 that fostered education, engagement, and celebration. By focusing on greater learning and education, we aim to increase transparency, accountability, and productivity; creating a culture where all team members are supported, can contribute, and feel included.
CPC welcomed 11 summer interns in FY 24. Over the course of the summer, the interns contributed across departments, had the opportunity to meet and learn from business leaders, and participated in service events with the CPC team. We thank local nonprofits Posse Foundation and Project Destined for collaborating with CPC to recruit another talented class of interns.
CPC was named to the 2023 Crain's 100 Best Places to Work in New York City. CPC’s ranking was determined by responses submitted by employees via an anonymous survey. In its first year of participation, CPC was proud to be recognized among the top 100 organizations and to be one of only three nonprofits to make the list.
CPC was honored to be number 8 on the Rochester Business Journal’s “Best Companies to Work For” list – a key accomplishment in our home state of New York.
Our unique expertise has made CPC the lending partner of choice for entrepreneurs who are financing their first project, as well as established developers working on their most challenging deal. Building on CPC’s 50-year history in our home state, CPC’s construction business is now expanding its proven model to finance mission-driven projects outside New York.
In FY 24, CPC’s construction lending business originated $246 million to help finance the creation and preservation of more than 2,100 affordable and workforce homes. With the majority of lending focused in CPC’s home state of New York, CPC also financed quality, affordable housing in Connecticut and California.
In FY 24, CPC deployed $33 million in new equity investments, and continued our stewardship of the more than 4,500 affordable units under ownership. New acquisitions will help preserve affordability for residents and build the capacity of emerging real estate owners and investors in cities including Charlotte, North Carolina and Washington, D.C.
CPC, along with its PACT Renaissance Collaborative partners and the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), proudly celebrated the transformative renovation of 16 public housing developments as part of the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program. The PRC team completed comprehensive upgrades and repairs across 1,718 apartments, revitalized indoor and outdoor common areas, and implemented social services for the more than 2,900 Manhattan residents who call these developments home.
CPC Mortgage Company, one of the only nonprofit owned mortgage companies offering a full suite of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and Federal Housing Administration loan products, continued to expand its footprint in Fiscal Year 2024 with $364 million in Agency lending nationwide.
Ending the year with 29 transactions across 6 states from California to New York, each loan originated was an opportunity to further The Community Preservation Corporation’s mission to transform neighborhoods into thriving communities.
FY 24 saw CPC Mortgage Company increase originations volume by 115% year over year, expand its national footprint, and continue to build on The Community Preservation Corporation’s five decades of positive social impact.
With more than 75% of loan volume in affordable housing transactions, our team of experts continued to lead with our mission, meet market challenges with a range of flexible capital solutions, and empower our customers to make a difference in their communities.
Just one example: working with nonprofits BRIDGE Housing Corporation and Community Roots Housing, CPC Mortgage Company delivered a Freddie Mac TAH loan to help finance 235 newly constructed affordable homes in Seattle, Washington, to be rented at or below 60% of Area Median Income. As communities across the country continue to grapple with the housing crisis, it is projects like this one that define CPC Mortgage Company as a trusted partner and leader in the multifamily affordable and workforce housing finance industry.
My congratulations to the CPC Mortgage Company team and my thanks to our customers and partners for all that we accomplished together in FY 24. I look forward to taking on new challenges and building on our accomplishments in the new year to come.

CPC Climate Capital, a subsidiary of The Community Preservation Corporation, leads Climate United’s strategy for financing energy-efficient multifamily housing across the U.S.
In the final quarter of fiscal year 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the selection of Climate United, a national nonprofit coalition composed of CPC Climate Capital, Climate United Fund, and Self-Help Climate Capital to be the recipient of a $6.97 billion National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF) grant award.
The CPC team came together to stand up a new subsidiary, CPC Climate Capital, to lead Climate United’s strategy for financing energy-efficient multifamily housing across the U.S.
Climate United was one of several applicants competing for an award under the NCIF, one of three programs under the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF).
CPC Climate Capital’s low-cost debt financing model is designed to decrease the overall cost of mortgage capital that owners and developers need to upgrade existing buildings or build energy-efficient new construction multifamily housing.
To inform its successful application, Climate United coalition partners hosted listening sessions and connected with partners across the country to gather feedback and input on their implementation strategy, including stops in Durham, North Carolina, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, New York City, and Rapid City, South Dakota.
Climate United applied with the support of more than 350 organizations, a growing network that includes local and state-based green banks, credit unions, Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), labor and workforce organizations, and private capital providers, among others.
Sadie McKeown, the President of CPC, leads CPC Climate Capital and its work to invest in energy-efficient multifamily housing.
Sadie McKeown, the President of CPC, leads CPC Climate and its work to invest in high performance multifamily housing.
“This unprecedented federal funding will be critical in supporting the first mortgage markets in addressing energy efficiency through their routine lending. CPC Climate Capital’s work will be especially important in communities that have historically faced barriers to investment and economic opportunity. We are honored to be part of putting these historic funds to work.”
– Sadie McKeown
President of the Community Preservation Corporation.
We are working to expand housing access and seek new ways to lower the cost of producing affordable housing. To date, CPC has delivered financing for the creation or preservation of 230,000 homes for more than one million people.
In December 2023, Community Stabilization Partners (CSP), a partnership led by CPC, along with Neighborhood Restore HDFC and Related Fund Management, closed on two joint venture transactions with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to acquire a five percent equity interest in a portion of the former Signature Bank rent-stabilized portfolio. CPC was selected by the FDIC in a competitive process and is responsible for servicing and asset management of the $5.8 billion in loans in the portfolio. The portfolio is comprised of 868 permanent loans, secured by properties containing nearly 35,000 units – 80 percent of which are characterized as rent regulated.
The mission-driven team will work to ensure the preservation of long-term affordability for properties in the CSP portfolio. As a nonprofit housing finance company, CPC understands the unique role that rent regulated housing plays in neighborhoods, the distinct financial challenges facing its owners and operators in today’s market, and its importance as a haven of affordability to its tenants.
Since the creation of CPC ACCESS in August 2020 through FY 24, commitment across the company has resulted in investments with novice and emerging developers totaling more than $500 million to help finance development projects and grow and scale their businesses.
The CPC ACCESS Incubator real estate training program graduated 71 participants this year, bringing the total number of Incubator graduates to more than 170 since the program launched in FY 22. The training equips novice and emerging developers with knowledge and resources to navigate each step of the multifamily real estate development process.
A pipeline of graduates are in the process of developing their first housing projects, bringing quality housing to their communities while growing their own small businesses.
CPC is proud to partner with Goldman Sachs to support our partners at New York City Housing Preservation and Development and New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) in providing new resources and support that will help New York City’s minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs) expand their capacity and grow their local real estate development businesses.
Announced in March 2024, the MBE Guaranty Facility includes a $25 million commitment from New York City HDC on behalf of the City and a $25 million commitment from Goldman Sachs Asset Management over a five-year period, with CPC serving as the facility manager. Together, CPC and partners are providing a total of up to $50 million in back-stop guaranties, allowing MBE developers to independently access the capital required to secure construction financing and develop city-financed affordable housing projects in New York City. The $50 million is expected to leverage as much as $500 million in investment in affordable housing.
In partnership with New York State HCR, CPC provides construction financing and technical assistance to developers participating in the Legacy Cities ACCESS program, which provides financing for the rehabilitation of municipality-owned small multifamily buildings outside New York City. Through this program, CPC and NYS HCR are revitalizing communities while creating opportunities for construction businesses and first-time homebuyers.
In FY 24, CPC joined the Kingston City Land Bank and Maeda Construction (Maeda) to celebrate the completion and sale of four newly renovated single family homes through Legacy Cities ACCESS. All homes were sold to households earning at or below 80% of area median income.
Home renovations by Minority-owned Business Enterprise (MBE) firm Maeda included upgrades to structural, plumbing, and electrical systems, as well as new kitchens, baths, roofs, flooring, windows, doors, and asbestos abatement work. The homes also received efficiency upgrades including insulation and high-efficiency electric mini-split systems for heating and cooling.
CPC partnered with The City of Syracuse and New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) to host a Developers Summit for emerging real estate entrepreneurs in the Syracuse area. The role of this summit was to provide financial and educational resources to empower entrepreneurs to compete in the real estate development market, and to expand access to affordable, quality housing in Central New York communities.
In FY 24, CPC made its first awards through the Climate Friendly Homes Fund, totaling $3.75 million in grant funding to support the electrification of 15 small buildings with a total of 150 units.
Through this program, which is open to applications from multifamily building owners throughout New York State, CPC and New York State aim to deploy $250 million to electrify at least 10,000 units of housing in multifamily buildings that serve economically disadvantaged communities. The program provides up to $25,000 in grant funding per unit to cover the cost of retrofits including electrification of heating, cooling, and water heating systems and additional building envelope improvements.
In fiscal year 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the selection of Climate United, a national nonprofit coalition composed of CPC Climate Capital, Climate United Fund, and Self-Help Climate Capital to be the recipient of a $6.97 billion grant award.
The team came together to stand up a new subsidiary, CPC Climate Capital, to lead the coalition’s multifamily strategy.
The Climate Capital multifamily strategy builds on CPC's decades of experience financing housing that is not only affordable, but also sustainable in the long term. Delivering low-cost mortgage capital allows building owners and developers to increase overall mortgage proceeds to help cover the cost of building and renovating energy-efficient multifamily housing.

Sadie McKeown, the President of CPC, leads CPC Climate Capital and its work to invest in energy-efficient multifamily housing.
Through our building performance webinar series, CPC provides important information about local and state policy, underwriting strategies, and financing opportunities for multifamily buildings incorporating energy efficiency.
The CPC team continued to offer educational programming for our customers, industry peers, and the multifamily building ecosystem. FY 24 topics centered around harnessing technologies and best practices to optimize large multifamily buildings, transportation access and infrastructure for multifamily building owners and residents, and updates from government partners on New York State and New York City regulations and programs for multifamily building owners.
Albany, New York
Sierra Murray, an independent developer, held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the completed gut rehabilitation of two affordable apartments in Albany, New York, on the same street where she resides. The two-story building contains one four-bedroom and one five-bedroom unit, both affordable.
Murray is a graduate of the CPC ACCESS Incubator program, which is a free, virtual training series that includes eight 90-minute sessions and takes participants through each phase of the development process. It features expert instruction, interactive components and project development support from CPC staff and our housing consultants, Let’s Brainstorm LLC. Not only did Murray graduate from the second cohort of the program, but she has also helped offer instruction and guidance to graduates of later cohorts.
With CPC’s assistance with training and financial resources, she has been able to build the capacity of her small business and has learned how to navigate the technical components of the development process. She now owns 13 units across six properties that she aims to revitalize as well. Murray is using her ACCESS Incubator training experience to help make a difference in her historically redlined neighborhood.
CPC provided $207,000 through the ACCESS initiative for this deal, and since 2020 has leveraged more than $500 million to help emerging BIPOC developers finance housing development projects in cities like Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Kingston, New York City, and others. Since the program’s inception, CPC has completed 5 training cohorts with more than 170 program graduates, several of which are working on developing their first housing projects.

CPC closed two equity investments totaling $3.65 million for the acquisition of two affordable housing properties, Capitol Square in Brentwood, Maryland, and Tunlaw Courts in Washington, D.C.
In partnership with A. Walker and Co., CPC made a $2.4 million equity investment alongside BrookWynn Capital in the acquisition and major capital renovation of Capitol Square Apartments, a 118-unit multifamily asset in Brentwood, MD, one mile outside of Washington D.C. This investment will create 77 new rent-restricted, family-sized units, will preserve workforce affordability in the remainder of the units, and will make meaningful improvements to residents’ living experience. Additionally, this was the first investment for BrookWynn Capital, a Black-owned multifamily investment firm led by developer Calvin Jones III, through their recently-launched workforce housing investment management platform.
Alongside a joint venture between multifamily developers and owners Mosaic Affordable Housing and Vantage Realty Capital, CPC also made a $1.2 million equity investment for the acquisition of Tunlaw Courts, a 65-unit property in Washington, D.C. located across from the Russian Embassy. With this investment, the team will be renovating 50% of the units at Tunlaw Courts, income restricting 50% of the units for renters earning at or below 80% of area median income, and executing it all under a strategy of non-displacement.
An acquisition loan for the property was provided by Capital Impact Partners and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC).
This investment brings long-term stability to residents of this Northwest D.C. neighborhood that is also home to foreign embassies, the U.S. Naval Observatory, and located close to both American University and Georgetown University.

Together, the partners plan to preserve affordability and lease the homes to Section 8 tenant-based voucher holders. Carolinas-based nonprofit Southeast Affordable Housing Administration facilitated a property tax abatement in exchange for restricting rents for all units to be affordable to households earning 80 percent of the area median income (AMI) and below.
Originally constructed in 1970, Cambridge Park Townhomes encompasses 13 buildings across 3.92-acres. The property features 8 two-, 28 three- and 28 four-bedroom two-story townhomes averaging 1,500 square feet per unit, as well as 75 parking stalls.
In addition to preserving long-term affordability, the partners plan to modernize the property and address deferred maintenance.

CPC awarded $2.7 million in grant funding for the electrification of Horizons at Wawayanda, a six-building project in the Town of Wallkill, Middletown, New York. The award is being administered to developers Kenneth and Lawrence Regan from the $250 million Climate Friendly Homes Fund (CFHF), which is designed to finance the electrification of existing multifamily projects.
Horizons at Wawayanda was one of the first housing complexes to receive grant funding through the CFHF, which CPC is administering in partnership with New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR). CPC is providing the funding to support the electrification of both space-heating and cooling and domestic hot water production for all 107 units at the garden-style Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) development in Hudson Valley. The 15-year old natural gas-powered boilers and the window air conditioning units will be replaced by new, state of the art split system electric HVAC and DHW Systems.
The project is utilizing $25,000 per unit, the maximum per unit in grant funding allowed under the CFHF program, to complete a full-electrification scope of work, which includes additional energy efficiency measures.
“Our work at Horizons of Wawayanda is a testament to our shared commitment to foster sustainable and resilient communities,” said Sadie McKeown, President of The Community Preservation Corporation. “Through our partnership with the State of New York, we are working to make the transition to clean energy more attainable and equitable for low- and moderate-income communities across New York. This project exemplifies how targeted investment can transform existing housing into modern, energy-efficient homes that provide a host of benefits for building owners, tenants, and their communities.”
The CFHF program is expected to electrify 10,000 units of multifamily housing in economically disadvantaged communities by 2027.

CPC is proud to partner with fellow mission-driven nonprofit The Lower East Side Service Center (LESC), New York City Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the New York City Employees’ Retirement System (NYCERS) to finance the moderate renovation of this 40-unit supportive housing property located in New York’s East Village neighborhood. The original portion of the historic building, once home to the Children's Aid Society, dates back to 1890.
LESC is a supportive housing and substance abuse treatment provider operating in the Bronx and Manhattan. This property currently provides deeply affordable, supportive housing for individuals diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
Planned renovations include replacement of major capital systems that have reached the end of their useful lives, interior improvements, and energy efficiency measures including replacement of heating and cooling systems and participation in a community solar program. NYC HPD is providing $8.2 million in financing through the Year 15 program, and the project also benefits from sponsor equity and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Affordable Multifamily Energy Efficiency Program grant funds.
CPC previously provided a $271,000 predevelopment loan through the CPC ACCESS initiative, which enabled the borrower to close on CPC’s subsequent $4.86 million construction loan and $5.3 million permanent loan provided through CPC’s partnership with New York City Employees’ Retirement System.

CPC joined the Cesar Chavez Foundation, City of Pomona, Citi, Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH), and UnitedHealth Group to finance new construction of an affordable housing community in Pomona. Chris Hartmire Plaza, named after the late Reverend Chris Hartmire, is being developed by the Cesar Chavez Foundation and will create 90 units of affordable housing for low-income families and homeless veterans on a formerly vacant lot.
The 90-unit complex includes 30 three-bedroom units reserved for families earning between 30%-60% AMI, along with units reserved for persons with disabilities, including individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Through a partnership with Tri-Cities Mental Health Center, a public agency providing mental health services, residents will have access to on-site social service programs. Additionally, the development will feature an on-site health clinic. East Valley Community Health Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that provides medical, dental, and mental health services, will occupy an approximately 6,756 square-foot ground-floor health clinic servicing residents and the local community.
