On Wednesday, April 25, we hosted the CHPC 75th Anniversary Luncheon at the Marriot Marquis Times Square. We were thrilled to celebrate 75 Years of Innovation and Impact by honoring those whose work in the housing and urban planning field continue to inspire and greatly impact our communities.
We were hugely honored to welcome the 108th Mayor of the City of New York, Michael R. Bloomberg, who gave special remarks on “the indispensable advocacy and leadership of CHPC”, and cited the importance of an array of our projects through the decades, including our current Making Room initiative!
The board and staff of CHPC would like to thank everyone who helped make our 75th Anniversary Luncheon such a success. It was an incredible event and we are grateful for your support.
