About Us
Urban Neighborhood Initiatives (UNI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation created to serve low income urban communities through both human and community development.
We serve people without regard to race, religion or income. We are faith-based in origins and through the motivating vision of our founders, our board and our staff. However, our programs are without specific religious content or identification.
History
The All Saints Neighborhood Center began in a closed church building in 1997. Then began ten years of intensive development in cooperation with All Saints Catholic Parish (the initiating body), community residents and businesses, universities and several other collaborating agencies.
All Saints Neighborhood Center (ASNC) is now a well-known neighborhood center with a broad schedule of adult and youth programs in the heart of the Springwells community of southwest Detroit.
The people who created ASNC also created UNI, a Michigan nonprofit organization, that received Internal Revenue Services 501(c)3 recognition in 1998. UNI exists to provide a conduit for channeling the experienced gained from our first project into support for the renewal of additional neighborhoods.
