What is PDCOP?
Center for Public Enterprise has launched a Public Development Community of Practice (PDCOP) for public housing authorities (PHAs), housing finance agencies (HFAs), other local and state housing agencies, and advocates to develop best practices for public development as a method of growing affordable multifamily housing production.
The working group meets on a quarterly basis and includes practitioners from housing agencies around the country who are developing, implementing, and executing on cutting-edge development models, particularly models that deliver tax credit-free affordable units as a supplement to federally supported production.
Our PDCOP membership continues to grow and includes over 200 members representing housing agencies from around the country including places like New York City, Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, as well as mid-sized and small cities like Chattanooga, TN, Syracuse, NY and Santa Monica, CA.
