Urban Development Corporation is a small grassroots nonprofit organization doing work in Detroit, Michigan. Over the years, our energy has been focused solely on trying to bring stabilization, revitalization, and sustainability to our targeted community. We are known by many through the lenses of our work and as we grow people are asking to connect with us through social media. Our current website is antiqued and has not been updated in years (www.urbandevelopmentcorp.org) and is hindering the growth of our organization and potential new funding opportunities.
All hands are on deck for the creation of a new Word Press website for our organization with a large portion of the written content complete. In addition, our team is excited and committed to the completion of a new website that will be attractive to visitors of our site. Our new website should include opportunities for individuals to give directly on the site, blogging, ability to register for upcoming events and social media tags.
This is a volunteer only opportunity and if interested feel free to reach out to us.

Mission Statement
Improve the quality of life and bring about positive life-style changing experiences of low to moderate income families who live in urban communities. In carrying out our mission Urban Development Corporation serves as a catalyst in the revitalization of communities through the development of activities and programs which promote clean, drug-free, healthy, safe and enjoyable family lifestyles. The uniqueness of our organization is our willingness to address counter productive behaviors which plague many urban communities, they include: random gunshot firing, slum lording, illegal dumping, liquor stores on nearly every corner, vandalism, and the selling of illicit drugs. These activities are major contributing factors to the rapid deterioration of inner city neighborhoods and lead to a large number of eyesore houses having to be torn down.
Description
Our efforts are currently concentrated in the following areas:
- Beautification and clean-up of inner city neighborhoods.
- Substance abuse awareness and prevention.
- Broadening the horizon of inner city youth through exposure to future career opportunities, the fine arts, and recreational activities.
- Acquisition and renovation of deteriorating properties.
- Unemployment and underemployment.
- Addressing environmental pollution concerns and issues.
- Serving as a liaison between residents, businesses; local police and municipalities to alleviate illegal activity.
- Rehab of our donated building which will be utilized as a community/employment center.
