WCCRC is a 501{c){3) nonprofit Rural Preservation Company working under the auspices of New York State Homes and Community Renewal. Our mission is to cooperate with community members and local, state, and federal governmental and civic bodies in aiding, assisting and fostering the planning, development, renewal, and improvement of housing, mixed-use, commerical and civic buildings toward community revitalization and economic development.

As a Rural Preservation Company, WCCRC offers home rehabilitation programs for low and moderate income homeowners, as well as community revitalization programs, housing and financial counseling, and senior housing in our 18-town service area in parts of Delaware, Greene and Schoharie Counties. We apply for New York State and Federal grant programs that benefit communities by improving health and safety conditions in homes and restoring civic and commerical buildings on Main Street. Once awarded, WCCRC manages these grant programs: coordinating rehabiliation projects using local contractors to fix failing roofs, foundations, electrical systems, and other critical problems in the home; or to renovate storefronts and apartment units on Main Street in rural towns.

WCCRC's housing counseling program provides basic housing and financial counseling to individuals in our servicearea, free of charge.

Stamford Village Apartments and Grand Gorge Apartments provide housing for seniors, as well as individuals who have disabilities in Grand Gorge Apartments. There are a total of 45 convenient, comfortable, and affordable units with rent subsidy programs. WCCRC also operates the Western Catskills Community Warehouse, selling donated gently used and new building materials, appliances, kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and furnishings, all at minimal prices so anyone can afford to repair their home.
