Our
Impact

The communities we serve are at the heart of CDP’s mission and vision. All our projects provide supportive services and programming for residents and their surrounding communities. We seek to meet the individualized needs of each community and create opportunities for people to connect with one another, learn, and develop new skills and engage in healthy lifestyles. CDP is committed to enhancing the lives of residents by providing them with foundations and pathways for growth and success. This work wouldn’t be possible if not for the dedication and commitment of our many resident services providers that serve our communities on-site every day.

At CDP, we approach resident services differently from traditional developers. We collaborate with co-owners and co-developers to ensure comprehensive resident support. We work diligently to identify outstanding service providers in the community, guaranteeing that residents receive excellent services from the nearest, most knowledgeable, and capable partners. CDP invests in supportive services at all properties within our asset management portfolio.

By The Numbers

At CDP, residents drive our projects, and our commitment lies in providing safe, supportive housing for those in need. Through robust resident services, we aim to make a meaningful impact.

2023 Annual Report

This past year, CDP’s communities reached significant programming milestones, enriching the lives of our residents. Our dedication to fostering a supportive, thriving community remains strong as we look forward to continued progress in 2024.

Programming & Events

Our goal is to drive transformative change every day in our residents’ lives through impactful programming and services. CDP communities prioritize resident programming in five key areas: Ecology, Intergenerational Living, Lifelong Learning, Health & Wellness, and Arts & Creativity, providing a comprehensive living experience for all residents.

Ecology

Ecology-focused resident programming plays a crucial role in promoting sustainability, environmental awareness, and overall well-being within communities.

Several CDP properties feature on-site community gardens, providing residents with the opportunity to cultivate produce and encourage healthy eating habits. In addition, outdoor activities and workshops connect residents with the surrounding natural environment.

Intergenerational Living

Intergenerational living services are designed to foster connections and interactions between individuals of all different age groups within the community.

Regularly scheduled activities and events are coordinated to bring residents of all ages together, creating opportunities to learn from one another, share experiences, and develop meaningful relationships. Our properties offer shared communal spaces that are accessible to residents of all ages, encouraging social interaction and collaboration across generations.

Lifelong Learning

Lifelong learning services are designed to promote ongoing education, personal growth, and skill development. Tailored for youth, families, and adults alike, these services provide valuable opportunities for individuals to expand their knowledge and explore their talents.

Resident services encompass a range of offerings including continuing education, after-school activities, financial assistance, and job search training and strategies. Through these options, residents are empowered to improve their quality of life and work towards achieving their individual goals.

Health & Wellness

Health and wellness services include a wide variety of programs and initiatives aimed at promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being within a community.

Residents have access to a range of amenities and services aimed at promoting their health and wellness, including fitness classes, meal programming, healthcare resources, and mental health support. These offerings allow residents to prioritize their health, adopt healthy habits, gain food security, and access the resources they need.

Arts & Creativity

CDP’s arts and creativity services offer a range of programs and activities designed to inspire artistic expression, nurture creativity, and promote cultural enrichment among residents.

Programming includes art classes and workshops, performance opportunities, and community showcases, cultivating a vibrant and dynamic community where residents can explore their creative potential and connect with others.

Commitment to
Supportive Housing

CDP provides Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) at 16 of our communities, with an additional 4 PSH developments currently undergoing construction. PSH is a vital solution providing stable, long-term housing for individuals grappling with chronic homelessness, disabilities, and various other challenges. This model combines affordable housing with supportive services and programming aimed to empower residents.
