Initiated as a grass roots community effort in 1965 in response to the growing number of Asian immigrants in New York City following the liberalization of the immigration law, the Chinese-American Planning Council, Inc. (CPC) has since become one of the largest providers of social services for Asian Americans in the United States. In pursuing our mission, CPC has developed, and continues to administer, a wide range of services for Chinese-American children, youth, adults, and senior citizens.
