About Us
The Urban Resources Development Corporation (URDC) is a northwest Philadelphia-based 501c(3) non-profit, interfaith organization working to stabilize housing and communities in Germantown, Mt. Airy and East/West Oak Lane through rehabilitation of homes for seniors and low-income people.
The organization is managed by twelve faith communities in northwest Philadelphia and uses no public funding for its efforts.
URDC has helped hundreds of families in Germantown and its surrounding communities through two programs:
- Renovating abandoned or dilapidated homes for eventual sale to first-time homebuyers through URDC’s Housing Rehabilitation Program;
- Assisting senior and low-income homeowners with exterior home repairs via URDC’s Owner Occupied Repair Program;
Look through our site and see how URDC helps build a better Germantown….one house at a time. And see how your help can make a difference in your community.
