I'd like to come back home after college, but how will I ever afford a place of my own?

With housing costs often representing more than 30% of their income, first-time homebuyers, young families and recent graduates all struggle to find a place they can comfortably afford to live.

Home is where the
heart is ...

Where we build and base our lives; the lifeblood of our communities. No other human creation has as much impact on quality of life as housing. That's why the Ulster County Housing Consortium (UCHC) has moved to

Give housing a voice!

Working together, we advocate for housing choice. We work to insure that our children and grand children can remain here and that people like law enforcement personnel, hospital staff members, and retail workers can live here too.

It's time for balanced growth!

We understand the obstacles that impede development of a healthy housing mix and believe housing needs can be balanced with environmental concerns. We seek to move away from a culture of opposition to all growth to one of support for smart growth.
