Our Mission

African American Planning Commission Inc. (AAPCI), is a New York City-based 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization committed to reducing homelessness and addressing the related issues of domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, mental health disorders, substance abuse, shortage of affordable housing, and unemployment in the communities in which we live and serve.

Our Vision

To be a multi-service housing, social service, community and economic development organization.

Our Strategy

AAPCI’s strategy is to develop both transitional and affordable housing that integrates comprehensive social support and services within a supportive community to ensure that individuals and families remain stable, are safely housed, remain independent, maintain their employment status, and live their lives with dignity.

AAPCI develops partnerships and linkages with local community-based agencies, private developers, and nationally recognized nonprofit organizations, and utilizes government programs, grants, bequests, private funds, tax-credits, contributions from private sector funders and donations from the general public to accomplish its mission.

Breaking The Cycle

AAPCI’s programs strive to break the cycle of domestic violence, HIV/AIDS transmission, homelessness, poverty and economic dependency by addressing root causes in a way that respects and keeps intact, the dignity of those served.

AAPCI’s  programs target the most needy: survivors of domestic abuse, persons and families living with HIV/AIDS, the general homeless population, the elderly, job seekers, disadvantaged children, the poor, and communities-at-large.
