Who We Are

A disciplined approach to housing and neighborhood investment.

Urban Community Housing LLC acquires, rehabilitates, manages, and operates residential rental properties that provide safe, decent, and affordable housing to underserved and economically vulnerable populations.

We pair responsible property investment with hands-on rehabilitation and professional management — improving housing conditions block by block while building a portfolio that can grow with the communities it serves. Alongside our own housing, we deliver rehabilitation and subcontracting services to property owners, investors, developers, and community organizations across St. Louis.
