Headquartered in Miami, and
with offices in Washington D.C., and Orlando, The Cuban
American National Council (CNC) is a non-profit
organization providing human services to persons in need
from all racial and ethnic groups. CNC assists
individuals to become self reliant, and builds bridges
among America’s diverse communities. CNC has
pioneered alternative education models in South Florida
and has become one of the largest Hispanic non-profit
developers of section 202 housing serving low-income
elderly in the United States. Since 1972, CNC has
been funded by both the private and public sectors to
plan, negotiate, and manage numerous grants and contract
agreements.
To date, the Council has
helped over 3,000 at-risk students to remain in school,
graduated 249 with a high school diploma, made 35,800 direct job placements; created more than
4,000 new jobs; awarded over 80 internships to needy
students; published more than 60 policy papers and
books, and built new housing units for 1,700 persons of
low and moderate income. CNC is also the oldest
service organization conducting research and policy
analysis on Cuban Americans, and is a frequent publisher
on Hispanic American issues.
