WHAT WE DO

AAPCI Mission

The African American Planning Commission (AAPCI) Inc., is a New York City-based 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization committed to addressing issues that often lead to homelessness, such as: domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, shortage of affordable housing, and unemployment, within the communities in which we live and serve.



Learn more about AAPCI at: http://www.aapci.org.

AAPCI Strategy

The African American Planning Commission's strategy is to develop both transitional and affordable permanent housing that integrates comprehensive social support and employment services within a supportive community to ensure that individuals and families remain stable, are safely housed, stay independent and maintain their employment status.

D.A.R.E. - Unofficial





Feb 22 2009 1:51 PM

Thank you for the friendship and for your support in helping increase the
effort to EDUCATE our youth of the dangers of drugs and violence.

Our future generation depends on the youth of today.

Alcohol and Drugs are plaguing our society and we need to attack it head on
where it is digging its roots; with our youth in our schools.

Knowledge and Truth are the key to help them stay clean.

They deserve the TRUTH about all of the drugs they will incounter.

They are simply too smart to accept the old 'Just Say NO' adage.

Todays teens want to KNOW for themselves,
and a rebellious society we have created.

They will seek the truth themselves and we must educate them with it.

That's what they respect; That's what they deserve!
A NEW D.A.R.E.
REQUIRES A NEW APPROACH!
Please help spread the word and tell your friends about D.A.R.E.

Feel free to visit D.A.R.E.
online at www. dare. com for more info on starting
a D.A.R.E. program in your area and/or to show your support.

Peace :-)
