African American Planning Commission Inc.

The African American Planning Commission Inc. is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the Bronx, NY and the broader New York City community with comprehensive social services addressing critical issues affecting underserved populations. The organization focuses on reducing homelessness while simultaneously tackling the interconnected challenges of domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, mental illness, substance abuse, affordable housing shortages, and unemployment. By recognizing that homelessness rarely exists in isolation, AAPC takes a holistic approach to community support, understanding that sustainable solutions require addressing multiple social determinants simultaneously. The organization's integrated service model in the Bronx demonstrates a commitment to evidence-based practices that acknowledge the complex relationships between housing instability, health conditions, economic opportunity, and social stability. Through strategic planning and community-centered interventions, AAPC works to break cycles of poverty and displacement while building pathways toward self-sufficiency and dignity for the individuals and families they serve throughout the Bronx and New York City.
