History
Founded in 1986, HCCI is a coalition of more than 90 inter-faith congregations that has implemented a comprehensive portfolio of programs to provide affordable housing and safe streets; offer opportunities for individuals and groups to become and remain economically independent; increase understanding of and access to health care; and provide substantive educational programs for adults and young people. Through alliances with other community organizations, elected officials and local residents, HCCI has also helped reduce crime in the community; increase public sanitation; and preserve and transform open space.
Leveraging more than $240 million in support from federal, state, and city agencies, HCCI’s real estate office has developed more than 2,000 units of low, moderate and middle-income housing; nearly 40 commercial spaces; and a 45,000 sq. ft. Pathmark supermarket. Our health office provides scattered-site housing for 60 families and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. HCCI’s adult education programs include soft employment skills, literacy training (in conjunction with Literacy Partners), and computer software training--all linked with job placement. To date, we have placed more than 1500 residents in employment opportunities.
HCCI is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation governed by a Board of Directors, and relies on support from grants, donations and government contracts funds.
