About the project
The East of the River Clergy Police Community Partnership (ERCPCP) is a faith-based community development corporation that was founded in August 1999 when pastors from twenty area churches, former Police Chief Charles Ramsey, and other high-ranking officers met to discuss how clergy and police might work together to reduce the critically high number of homicides among youth in Southeast, D.C. The organization operates three programs focusing on affordable housing, youth mentoring and community wellness.
ERCPCP serves the community east of the Anacostia River in Washington, DC including individuals, families and youth.
LISC provided a $1.17 million predevelopment loan through our MacKenzie Scott partnership to support ERCPCP's first development project that will turn underutilized land owned by District churches into affordable housing. The project will include 77 units of rental housing, 16 of which will be permanent supportive housing catering to returning citizens. An additional 46 units will be reserved for seniors making no more than 50% AMI.
