Progress you can see. Impact you can feel. | | Central Development: Progress in Motion | | |
PCF Development’s Central Development is taking remarkable shape! To date, we have completed 32 housing units and are actively working on 30 more units which are all new construction. 25 units of this development are located at 44 Central Ave in Central Falls. This building will also be the location of PCF Development's Homeownership and Financial Education Center that will serve as a hub for education and empowerment.
In recent weeks, we have welcomed our Board, partners and supporters for progress tours to see the transformation firsthand. Each visit showcases the quality and collaboration behind this milestone project.
Stay tuned for our ribbon cutting celebration this January 2026, when PCF Development and partners will celebrate the opening of a new chapter in this community-driven development. If you are interested in applying for a PCF Development apartment, please find the pre-application here.
| | Rolling Up Our Sleeves: Volunteer Day | | |
Who said it is too cold to get things done? Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island volunteers rolled up their sleeves, put their hand in the soil and hearts in the community as they got to work on landscaping and planting at 44 Central Street at the start of November!
Who would have thought we could be gardening just days before winter? It is never too early to prepare and we cannot wait until the Spring to see the flower buds bloom. The hard work of the volunteers is proof that that passion and dedication know no season.
We also want to thank our local nursery partner, Little Tree Nursery, for helping us select and provide the beautiful plants that will brighten this space for seasons to come.
A huge thank you to Blue Cross Blue Blue Shield of Rhode Island for making this hand-on community effort possible! Stay tuned for more photos this Spring!
| | Where Community Meets Leadership | | |
A few weeks ago, PCF Development’s Executive Director, Linda Weisinger participated as a panelist along Central Falls Mayor, Maria Rivera at the AARP Rhode Island “Housing for the Care Economy” event. Ms. Weisinger shared insights on housing solutions, community development and supporting families and individuals, bringing PCF Development’s work to a broader audience.
The event created a space for insightful discussion on how Rhode Island can create housing solutions that support caregivers, care workers and those in need of quality affordable housing. We are proud to see our expertise and innovative approach shape conversations around housing and the care economy. Thank you to AARP Rhode Island, Smart Growth America and Grow Smart RI for the invitation to connect with so many partners, housing leaders and advocates who share our commitment to building homes and communities that care for everyone.

Season of Gratitude
