U-SNAP-BAC (United Streets Networking and Planning; Building A Community) was incorporated in 1987

by a consortium of seven (7) neighborhood organizations and four (4) business associations to revitalize

the east side of Detroit. U-SNAP-BAC’s origin is based on the belief that housing projects controlled by

the community will put the interests of the neighborhood first. With that in mind, the objective of the

company is to provide decent, safe, and affordable housing for families of low and moderate income,

while broadening U-SNAP-BAC Inc.’s role as a community empowerment advocate. USNAPBAC’s mission

is “to empower residents to impact the future of Detroit’s eastside. Through coalition building, resource

development, joint planning, and programming, we will promote economic growth and neighborhood

improvement.”


Through the years, U-SNAP-BAC, Inc.’s activities have included small business services, community

organizing, neighborhood beautification, homeownership education, financial literacy, and

homeownership preservation counseling; while the U-SNAP-BAC Nonprofit Housing Corporation focused

on new construction, acquisition rehabilitation, and minor home repairs for residents. The impact that

U-SNAP-BAC has had on the City of Detroit is phenomenal. U-SNAP-BAC has counseled over 900 families;

aided in the development of over 100 block clubs; mentored countless small businesses; facilitated

dozens of workshops, townhall meetings, community forums, and neighborhood cleanup efforts,

planted over 1000 trees, rehabbed over 500 homes, and constructed over 130 new affordable homes;

all while maintaining the mission of community cohesiveness, collaboration, and commitment.
