WHAT CAN RUPCO
DO FOR YOU?

Ever wondered what RUPCO can do for you? From helping homebuyers achieve the dream of homeownership to developing new affordable housing opportunities throughout the Hudson Valley, RUPCO is here to help!

The RUPCO house has expanded to better represent all of the incredible programs and services we offer, as well as our subsidiaries!

 

Earlier this month we celebrated the 100th birthday of Genevieve Delavan, a resident living at our Park Heights property located in Rosendale, New York.

Friends, family, and Park Height's tenants gathered to celebrate the joyous occasion in the senior housing complex's community room, where our residents often gather for community events and organized dinners.

We'd like to extend our gratitude and appreciation to Benny's Pizzeria in Stone Ridge, who generously supplied ample and delicious food for all attendees to enjoy. Benny's has been in business for over 25 years and is committed to providing not only quality food, but a helping hand to local organizations and the Ulster County community as a whole. You can always count on Benny to give back and support the community he serves, and Genevieve's 100th birthday celebration was no exception.

We'd also like to thank MyTown Marketplace, just down the road from Park Heights in the Rosendale shopping plaza, for generously donating beverages for the celebration.

 

RUPCO was proud to participate in RCAL's Annual Disabilities Awareness Parade back in July. Big thank you to Nick Morrill, Housing Program Administrator, and Colleen Reilly, 
Rehab Supervisor, for decorating the RUPCO truck for the occasion! 

 

Thank you to our corporate sponsors!
