Delmarva Rural Ministries, Inc.
Delmarva Rural Ministries, a nonprofit founded almost 40 years prior to provide health care, housing and other services to low-income residents of the Delmarva Peninsula, filed for bankruptcy in July 2011.
The Dover-based group listed assets between $10 million and $50 million and liabilities between $1 million and $10 million in a Chapter 7 liquidation in 2011.
The group's operations included Kent Community Health Center in Dover, which was closed prior because of financial problems, and migrant rental housing in Bridgeville, Salisbury, Md., and Cape Charles, Va.
The largest unsecured claims against the agency included roughly $462,000 by the U.S. Rural Housing Service, IRS liens of more than $400,000 on its Dover office building, and a requested refund of $250,000 by the Longwood Foundation for a donation to an uncompleted capital campaign.
