CPRC believes that every individual in our region should have access to safe and affordable housing.
Our team collaborates with local governments, developers, and non-profits to preserve, improve, and construct high-quality and affordable housing. Our goal is to work alongside communities at various stages of their housing efforts to meet their specific needs.
We provide a range of services, including education, technical assistance, facilitation, research and data analysis, and fund administration. In addition, CPRC administers funding from the NC Housing Finance Agency for home repair in Durham, Chatham, Lee, Harnett, and Wake counties.
