Purpose
The Hispanic Council On Social Policy Center For Community Development Corporation is a community based, community operated, non-profit organization created to serve the needs of the Hispanic community via programs, service and advocacy. The mission of the "Council" requires individuals of good faith serve those suffering from a variety of socioeconomic needs surpassing cultural bounds in an effort to reach those "at-risk" within the County of Passaic with special emphasis on the urban communities of Paterson, Clifton, and Passaic City, New Jersey.

The "Council" was established in 2010 to create and provide resources for the fast-growing Hispanic population within the County of Passaic. It owes its origin to a group of newly settled Hispanic migrants who experienced the need for an agency to represent and orient the Spanish speaking in their new environment. With the support and leadership of local stakeholders and the cooperation of non-Hispanic representatives, the group was founded as the Hispanic Council On Social Policy Center For Community Development Corporation (HCSPCCD). This new entity proclaimed its mission to provide vital resources to the community at large with major emphasis on older at-risk youth and low-income families struggling with social disparities,
