AG James today secured a court order to dissolve the Community Resource Collaborative (CRC), a Monroe County not-for-profit, after it misused government funds intended to support Rochester-area community service organizations. Today’s court order also appoints an independent receiver to oversee the CRC’s remaining assets and distribute liquidated funds to the local nonprofits that are owed money. Attorney General James filed a petition to dissolve the CRC after an investigation revealed that its executives misused tens of thousands of dollars in federal funds to pay for personal expenses and failed to deliver more than $243,000 to the local organizations that were promised aid.

"For families struggling to make ends meet in Rochester, and throughout the region, community-service organizations are an essential lifeline, and those groups need the support and funding they expect so they can help others […] Anytime a not-for-profit ignores our laws and cheats vulnerable groups and people who are relying on aid, my office will step in to right that wrong and protect New Yorkers.” – AG James
