Who We Are
NCPPA is a mission-driven community wealth engineering platform that brings together public agencies, private industry, financial institutions, foundations, academic institutions, community organizations, technology partners, residents, and local leaders to design practical alternatives to persistent poverty, housing instability, and community disinvestment.
Housing as the Foundation. Wealth as the Outcome. Community as the Driver.
NCPPA designs and coordinates place-based strategies that move communities from access to capacity, from capacity to agency, and from agency to ownership.
Our work centers on four connected priorities:
Focus Areas
Affordable Housing
Mixed-income development, modular construction, homeownership readiness, resident-to-owner pathways, and housing supply strategies.
Economic Mobility
Workforce training, entrepreneurship, cooperative ownership, financial capability, and wealth-building systems.
Disaster Recovery
Resilient rebuilding, rapid deployment housing, insurance innovation, and recovery-centered community planning.
Community Resilience
Energy independence, broadband access, food systems, health infrastructure, technology, and neighborhood stabilization.
Our Theory of Change
01
Access
People need reliable access to housing, jobs, capital, digital tools, and institutional support before any meaningful change can occur.
02
Capacity
With access established, individuals and organizations must build the skills, knowledge, and infrastructure to use those resources effectively.
03
Agency
Capacity alone is not enough. Communities must gain decision-making power, governance roles, and the ability to shape systems that affect them.
04
Ownership
The ultimate goal: communities transition from being consumers of systems to owners of systems — housing, businesses, energy, data, and governance.
