Event Information:

Aspire of WNY and the WCA Home Board of Directors are thrilled to announce the official finalization of the WCA Home transfer.

The transition has been years in the making. In March of 2025, after plans to sell the historic property were not meeting the vision of the WCA Home Board or the needs of the community, the WCA Board put out an ask in the community: “are there nonprofits we could gift the home to for legacy continuance into the next 100 years?”

After a series of proposals, the WCA Home Board selected Aspire of WNY to be the recipient of the estate.

The “WCA” will remain and the location will become “Aspire of WNY at the WCA,” with WCA now standing for: We Connect All. This naming pays homage to the legacy of the WCA home and modernizes it to fit Aspire of WNY’s nonprofit mission supporting children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This gift will allow the agency to consolidate its current Northern Chautauqua operations and significantly expand its continuum of care. 

To celebrate this new chapter, the public is warmly invited to Aspire of WNY at the WCA’s Open House to tour the facility, meet the team, and learn about upcoming programs. Please note that parking is limited and street parking, according to rules, is expected. Aspire of WNY hopes to have a shuttle service and will be announcing details closer to the open house.
