| Phipps Houses is the nation's oldest and
one of its largest not-for-profit developer/owners of affordable housing.
It is a multi-faceted real estate organization, involved in the construction
of new housing, rehabilitation of existing apartment buildings, residential
and some commercial property management, and community building, all
in New York City and its environs. Its wholly owned 501(c)(3) subsidiary,
Phipps Community Development Corporation (Phipps CDC), provides human
services to our communities. Phipps Houses Services, Inc. (PHSI) provides
property management services, and is a for-profit wholly owned subsidiary
of Phipps Houses. The Phipps Houses mission is to create and sustain
enduring communities through housing development, attentive property
management, and residentially and community based human services.
The organization was started in 1905 with a $1 million investment
by Henry Phipps, a partner of Andrew Carnegie in his steel business
(more on Phipps history). From
this initial investment more than a century ago, Phipps Houses has
created over $1 billion in affordable housing assets. Phipps Houses'
mission is to build and maintain affordable housing and healthy,
enduring New York City neighborhoods. Our affordable housing development,
coupled with our community building human services and high quality
property management, create communities that assist our residents
and their neighbors to realize their dreams and fulfill their potential
as individuals, family members, workers and citizens of New York
City.
Throughout its history, Phipps has developed nearly 6,000 affordable
apartments; it continues to own over 4,500, providing homes
to more than 15,000 people in eight communities across the Bronx, Manhattan
and Queens. The organization has an active pipeline of new development
projects totaling over 2,300 units representing a total development
value of $500 million. Including its own property, Phipps manages

New York City. Phipps Houses is a large, integrated real estate
