UHAB Urban Homesteading Assistance Board

UHAB Urban Homesteading Assistance Board is a cooperative based in New York, New York. Founded in 1973, the organization employs 62 individuals. UHAB empowers low- to moderate-income residents to achieve housing stability and strengthen their communities. They accomplish this by establishing tenant associations and guiding distressed rental buildings toward becoming affordable housing cooperatives. UHAB's work involves educating residents about tenant rights, exploring co-op ownership as a possibility, facilitating financing, renovations, and legal processes for conversions, and providing education and screening for individuals interested in purchasing apartments in UHAB's affordable co-op network. Beyond conversion, UHAB offers ongoing support to residents, encompassing training on building management, maintenance, financial sustainability, affordability protection, and community building.
