Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Urban Development Corporation

Urban Development Corporation (UDC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing stablization, revitalization and sustainability to the inner-city neigbhorhoods on the Northeast Side of Detroit.

UDC desires help with the initial phases of the rehab of our building which upon completion of the renovations will include a coffee shop, employment training / jobsearch and community gathering center along with a legal clinic. We could use help with cleaning the interior of the building and with the landscape.

We are asking individuals, college students, churches, civic organizations and corporations to assist in our endeavor to reach our goal. If July 30th is not a good day, feel free to suggest another day and time; bring a group to lend a helping hand in helping Detroiter's have a place to seek gainful employment opportunities.

Currently, UDC needs help with the landscape and clean-up of the interior of the building by way of pressure washing.

About Urban Development Corporation

Location:

2727 Second Avenue, Suite 129, Detroit, MI 48201, 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.
