Mission

Phipps Community Development Corporation believes that people thrive in
vibrant communities where there are genuine opportunities. Our mission is to
help individuals and families access academic, economic, and civic opportunities that enhance their ability to strengthen their neighborhoods, succeed at school and work, raise healthy families, and become engaged members of their communities.

History

After more than half a century of developing affordable housing, Phipps
Houses recognized that building enduring communities required more than
bricks and mortar. In 1972, Phipps Community Development Corporation was
founded to serve the individuals and families living in Phipps Houses
buildings and the surrounding neighborhoods. Phipps CDC serves neighborhoods
in West Farms, Melrose and Morrisania in the Bronx, and Bellevue South
in Manhattan. Through the combination of affordable housing and human
services, the Phipps family of companies continues to help the people of New
York City build healthy communities.
