The ACCORD Corporation is a private, not-for-profit, community action agency and rural housing preservation company that offers comprehensive services with funding from federal, state, and local sources.

Allegany Community Development Services, Inc. (ACDSI) is a not-for-profit Community Development Financial Institution created to serve Allegany and Cattaraugus County entrepreneurs, business owners, and community members who are unable to access traditional credit. ACDSI has business start-up and expansion loans for both income eligible individuals and businesses that employ
income eligible individuals.




Anna Poplawska contacted the center in the summer of 2007 looking for information on registering her new business. Anna returned a year later as the new owner of Maple Grove Estates located in Friendship, New York. She was interested in obtaining funding for the continued development of her business. She developed her business plan and loan application and submitted it to the loan committee.

She was able to get a $25,000 loan to increase employment and develop the park further. Maple Grove Estates continues to grow under the watchful eye of its owner and preparations are being made to hire employees
