EXHIBIT 31.1
                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I, Irwin J. Deutch, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Century Pacific Housing
     Fund I;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this annual report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
     statement were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this annual report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements and other financial
     information included in this annual report, fairly present in all material
     respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;

4.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have:

     a.  designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
         supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
         registrant, is made known to us by others within the entity,
         particularly during the period in which this annual report is being
         prepared;

     b.  evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
         procedures and presented in this annual report (the "Evaluation Date")
         our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
         procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on
         such evaluation; and

     c.  disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
         most recent fiscal year (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the
         case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
         reasonable likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
     committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the
     equivalent function):

     a.  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
         operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are
         reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
         record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     b.  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
         employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
         controls over financial reporting.
