Additionally, CPC invested $20 million in a program providing financial resources, capacity building opportunities and technical assistance to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, $5.7 million went to its NY Forward Program, which funded 123 loans to help small building owners make ends meet through pandemic-related rental income loss.

“I am incredibly proud that we were able to leverage our mission-driven work and the capital we provide to create new economic opportunity at a time when communities were struggling to recover from the enormous toll of COVID-19,” said Rafael Cestero, president and CEO of CPC. “Each loan and investment tells a story of the outcomes of the housing that gets built, the small BIPOC developer that’s able to grow their business and the tenants who have safe, affordable housing. They reflect CPC’s deep commitment to our mission and the transformative impact that we’re able to have within communities and on people’s lives.”
