One of the largest nonprofit housing developers in Rhode Island, Women's Development Corporation (WDC) has been an innovative force in the design, development, construction and management of housing for low- and moderate-income families, the elderly, and persons with special needs since 1979. In addition to developing its own projects, WDC provides consulting services to Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut organizations, guiding projects from site selection to completion of construction and through the affordability period.
Housing Opportunities Corporation (HOC) is the non-profit management arm of WDC. Since 1983 HOC has managed all WDC properties, as well as properties owned by other organizations. From the initial planning stages of a project, throughout the property’s life, HOC provides hands-on management to ensure quality permanent housing for families, the elderly, and persons with special needs. HOC’s responsive 24-hour services are much appreciated by residents.

At this time, HOC manages over 700 apartments across Rhode Island. The staff communicate with residents, listen to their concerns, and foster their feelings of pride and responsibility.
