The Community Preservation Corporation has secured 72 apartments in three Brooklyn buildings. Almost $11 million in three permanent mortgages made through the Freddie Mac Small Balance Loan program enabled the expansion of affordable housing efforts supported by the nonprofit, according to an Oct. 8 press release from the New York City-based organization. Here are some details taken verbatim:

• CPC delivered a $6.6 million permanent loan for the refinancing of the 56-unit residential building at 371-391 Etna Street in the Cypress Hills neighborhood of Brooklyn.
• CPC delivered a $2.4 million permanent loan for the refinancing of the four-story, eight-unit building at 786 St. John’s Place in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
• CPC delivered a $1.8 million permanent loan to refinance a total of eight units at 104 Fort Greene Place in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn.

The National Association on Drug Abuse Problems has received a new $11.4 million contract with the New York City Department of Social Services.

The Department of Homeless Services finalized a one-year contract with Institute for Community Living – the $6.3 million deal will fund the Borden Avenue Shelter at 2110 Borden Avenue in Long Island City, Queens.
