"As an affordable tenant-owned- and operated building, keeping costs to a minimum, but not at the expense of our comfort or safety, has always been a priority of residents here. Working with The New York City Pension Funds, CPC, NYSERDA & all of the other private and public housing and financing agencies, we have been able to accomplish that. With these upgrades, we can look forward to living in a more environmentally sensitive and economically sensible building for many more years to come."
"Before this transformation, every time I walked into my building, I had to pray that at least one of our elevators would be working. Now I no longer have to worry about that. Our buildings have been radically transformed for the better in many ways, and we will continue to work with CPC to ensure that this spectacular progress continues."
"A 32-unit building was completed in 12 months and serves as a testament to how government and the private sector (CPC) can partner to do things effectively when tackling the problem of affordable housing."
"Their (CPC) shared commitment to quality affordable housing will make a difference in the lives of area seniors."
"I commend CPC for its ongoing commitment to provide financing for much-needed affordable housing in our region."
"HUD is so pleased to have played a part in the renovation of Phoenix Estates, and to have worked with NY ACORN Housing Company, Inc., We Stay/Nos Quedamos, Inc., CPC, Enterprise Community Investment Partners and HPD in making this happen. I cannot think of a better gift for these residents during this holiday season."
"I find CPC’s hands-on approach and adaptability of each transaction extremely impressive. CPC is willing to "think outside the box" to secure the necessary financing. I appreciate the accessibility of CPC staff and their involvement every step of the way."
“Thanks to the long standing partnership of the Community Preservation Corporation and East Brooklyn Congregation and the help of HPD and HDC there are now 104 more units of affordable housing in an area of Brooklyn that desperately needs it.”

“Through HPD’s work with CPC and EBC, 550 Watkins stands as an example of how neighborhoods can be transformed through strong public-private partnerships. This collaboration did not produce one new building, but thirteen new structures that have added 104 affordable new homes to this resurgent community. Each unit is a symbol of opportunity for a family here in Brooklyn, an opportunity to have an affordable home.”
