ORGANIZATION: Urban Development Corporation

Urban Development Corporation (UDC) is rehabilitating a house to help revitalize the surrounding community.

Currently, we are seeking 5 to 10 volunteers to help wash the floors and walls of the house. UDC hopes that a corporate volunteer team, fraternity/sorority, high schoolers needing to complete school requirements, and church or civic group would take an interest in this project.

Come out for 4 hours to lend a helping hand-and have fun as a group while doing so! Our organization will provide all necessary supplies.

About Urban Development Corporation

Location:

PO Box 441691, Detroit, MI 48244, 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.
