a mission-driven non-profit. Columbus Property Management & Development, Inc. (CPM) is a private non-profit corporation driven by its mission to make affordable housing available to those in need.

A Pennsylvania 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, CPM was created in 1993 as the property management agency for 1260 HDC, the largest non-profit affordable housing developer in Philadelphia. Over the years, CPM's management portfolio has grown from the initial 224 units to a diverse portfolio of 1,638 units in 263 buildings, managed on behalf of 28 different entities in the Delaware Valley.

innovative solutions. CPM is known for resourcefulness in putting together projects that further the mission—opening doors to housing opportunities. From Low-Income Housing Tax Credit projects to HUD Section 811 projects, HUD McKinney Act Programs, and Green grants, we’ve found ways to mix public and private funding to make affordable housing a reality for 2,591 individuals.

effective collaboration. We believe the key to success in this industry is a collaborative approach which envisions the “big picture” with a realistic perspective. CPM’s in-house capacity to carry out all phases of the affordable housing process, from development and construction through the day-to-day details of property management, is the cornerstone of our existence–an unparalleled insight which informs all aspects of CPM’s development and management strategies. In addition, CPM’s continued partnerships with local social service agencies, community organizations, and other non-profits play a vital role in creating and maintaining successful and effective affordable housing solutions for both residents and investors.
