What We Do
At United Community Housing Coalition (UCHC), we believe that housing is a fundamental human right. Our services focus on keeping families in their homes, creating pathways to stable housing, and empowering residents to secure long-term solutions. We work to preserve family assets, prevent displacement, and protect neighborhoods from the harm caused by vacant or unstable housing.
Our attorneys provide free legal advice and representation to tenants facing eviction, helping them navigate landlord-tenant disputes and court proceedings to prevent housing loss.​
As the program administrator for Detroit’s Right to Counsel, we ensure low-income residents have access to free legal representation in eviction cases. This groundbreaking program protects families from eviction, reducing homelessness and housing instability.
We assist families facing eviction with relocation to safe, affordable housing and provide rental assistance to resolve court judgments and prevent homelessness.​
We empower tenants to advocate for improved living conditions and hold landlords accountable. Our work includes helping tenants secure repairs, improve housing quality, and engage in collective action to protect their rights.
Our services include guidance for low- and moderate-income families navigating land contracts or mortgages, as well as support for residents transitioning from renters to homeowners in tax-foreclosed properties.
Our counselors assist homeowners in avoiding tax and mortgage foreclosure through payment plans, financial counseling, and access to hardship programs. We partner with local stakeholders to educate residents on property tax responsibilities and help them stay in their homes.
Through programs like Make It Home, we provide essential repair services to new homeowners, ensuring their properties remain safe and habitable for long-term stability.
