About Ulster County, NY

I live in Ulster County in the hudson Valley section of upstate New York. I wanted to talk about a Not for profit organization in my neighborhood that is making a Diference in our area. This company helps first time home buyers, they help people into section eight housing, they council home owners that are facing foreclosure and help clients hold unto their homes and make their mortgage payments. They have also taken old dilapitated buildings and restored them and added to the beauty of the area. I have a good friend who is a Vietnam vet who bought a home about six years ago. Due to being exposed to agent orange he recently has gotten so ill he will have to go on kidney dialysis weekly and so has had to move closer to a VA hospital and his home was in jeopardy of foreclosing. This company not only counseled him and talked with the banks representatives but got him a lawyer PRO BONO who is helping him affect a short sale. This is just one of three situations that I know of recently that RUPCO has been involved in that has affected a positive result. I can only imagine the many others.

What I really like about this organization is that they do not look for the lime light. They humbly go about their business doing great things for their community and the people in that community. I just wanted to take some time and put to pen my deep appreciation for this organization and the people that are a part of it.

MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU RUPCO. I am glad you are in my neighborhood.
