About Us

CP Planning is a Black-led and federally incorporated non-profit community network building the capacity of non-profits to protect and generate affordable housing and community spaces at the scale required to meet community needs. We use coalition-building, research, policy development, capacity building, and strategic partnership development to improve the economic function of the land use planning economy.

Founded in 2017 by Cheryll Case, CP Planning is a catalyst and amplifier of city-building innovations to local and national issues.

We are proud to collaborate with leaders in cities and neighbourhoods across Ontario.

Our mission is to align public, non-profit, and private sector organizations in the land use development economy to invest in solutions that uphold the economic, social, and cultural rights of equity-denied people, ensuring access to good housing, good jobs, an adequate standard of living, and opportunities for cultural expression.

We envision a world where all people, regardless of their background, experience more joy, belonging, and well-being, grounded in the achievement of adequate housing for all.

Our Values

We are led by community voice. CP planning’s work is rooted in needs communicated by local voices. We are driven by a commitment to listen and respond in a way that empower communities and keeps them at the center of all project scoping processes.
We center inclusion and equity. Equity is embedded across all that we do. It informs why we take on projects and initiatives, what those efforts aim to achieve, and how we do our work. We believe it begins within our organization ensuring that we work in a way that centers safety, care, and the wellbeing of our team and collaborators.
We encourage open-mindedness and curiosity. We recognize that leaders across sectors face unique barriers which prevent them from exploring or conducting practices that generate more equitable outcomes. We are committed collaborating with a diverse range of individuals and communities to identify new practices, build bridges, co-create solutions, and advance the discourse.
We are purpose and impact oriented. We are deeply committed to delivering high-quality work. We recognize the immense human costs societal delays to improve conditions for marginalized peoples and strive to maximize the value of the time and resources entrusted to us.
