Mission
To provide affordable housing opportunities for the region’s low and moderate income population

History
North Country Affordable Housing, Inc. was incorporated in March 1987 in response to the overwhelming housing need engendered by the expansion of Fort Drum for the Army’s Tenth Mountain Division. Administrative funding is provided by the NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal’s Rural Preservation Company (RPC) Program. The company’s service area includes Jefferson, Lewis and
St. Lawrence Counties in northern New York State.

Since 1987 the corporation has received over $10 million in grants or loans, leveraging new construction and rehabilitation projects worth over $25 million. This has included 64 rental units that North Country Affordable Housing owns and manages in the City of Watertown and the Village of Philadelphia, 350 newly constructed homes or apartments, and 300 rehabilitation/home improvement projects on scattered sites throughout the north country, all for income-eligible households.

North Country Affordable Housing, Inc. programs are open to all who qualify, without regard to race, color, creed, ethnicity, religion, age, marital status, sexual preference, genetic composition or carrier status.
