Salem Housing
http://www.salemhousing.org
Salem Housing Community Development Corporation was created in 1984 by five neighborhood organizations and a church located on Flint’s north side. These six groups were brought together by common concerns about the deteriorating housing stock in their shared neighborhood in addition to vacant houses, a declining homeownership base and low-quality/high rent rental housing. They also shared concerns for those families who had to live in these deteriorated housing structures due to lack of financial resources or the unavailability of other housing options. They created Salem Housing Task Force whose mission was to improve family living conditions by providing safe, decent and affordable housing for families of limited income and to act as a catalyst to restore the neighborhoods within it service area, a 132-block area in the city of Flint.
Skaff employees offer time to work on various projects from drywall repair, to painting, roofing, and yardwork.
