URBNI is a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to transforming neglected properties into housing that restores hope, dignity, and opportunity. We specialize in acquiring and revitalizing vacant, tax-delinquent, and abandoned real estate turning forgotten spaces into affordable homes for the people who need them most.

Our work is rooted in the idea that housing should be human-centered. Behind every boarded-up window is a chance to create stability for a veteran, a second chance for someone in recovery, a fresh start for an individual facing homelessness, or a safe, accessible home for a senior citizen. We don’t just renovate structures we rebuild lives, families, and neighborhoods.

URBNI’s housing initiatives are designed to meet the unique needs of the communities we serve. Through programs like Healing Homes (sober living), Homes for Heroes (veteran housing), Second Start (transitional housing), and Grace Homes (senior housing), we deliver targeted, purpose-driven solutions that provide more than shelter they offer a path forward.

Every home we restore is the result of deep collaboration. We work closely with local government, service providers, volunteers, and residents to ensure our developments align with the long-term needs of the neighborhood. By blending real estate strategy with social impact, we are able to address housing instability at its root giving individuals and families the resources to thrive.

URBNI is more than a housing nonprofit. We are a community-building engine one that sees potential in every empty lot, every boarded-up house, and every person still waiting for their chance. Our mission is to create not just homes, but healthy, connected, and resilient neighborhoods built to last.
