Urban Homesteading Assistance Board

Empowering Communities Through Affordable Housing

Founded in 1973 during the self-help housing movement, the Urban Homesteading Assistance Board (UHAB) empowers low- to moderate-income residents in New York City. By fostering strong tenant associations and promoting lasting affordable co-ops, UHAB plays a crucial role in transforming temporary housing into permanent homes.

Making a Lasting Impact

In Fiscal Year 2022, UHAB launched the Co-op Improvement Program, successfully halting foreclosures for low-income homeowners. The organization made history when Bronx tenants organized to win ownership of their building, showcasing the power of resident-controlled housing.
