Welcome to Urban Life Community Development Corp.
Neighborhood preservation nonprofit, providing real estate redevelopment solutions and affordable housing to Memphis area communities.
About Us
Urban Life Community Development Corp. is a nonprofit real estate developer dedicated to creating safe, affordable, and sustainable housing for low- and moderate-income families and individuals. We combine community-centered development, responsible design, and strategic public-private partnerships to transform underused land and buildings into long-term homes that stabilize neighborhoods and unlock opportunity.
Expert Knowledge
Our approach:
Mission-driven development: We prioritize affordability, long-term stewardship, and resident well-being over short-term returns.
Community engagement: Residents, neighborhood groups, and local stakeholders shape project goals, design, and services.
Financial innovation: We blend public funding, philanthropic capital, low-income housing tax credits, and responsible private investment to maximize impact.
Sustainable design: Energy efficiency, durable materials, and transit-oriented planning reduce costs for residents and environmental impact.
Supportive services: When needed, we integrate on-site or partner-delivered services—such as financial counseling, job training, and health referrals—to help residents thrive.
Since our founding, we have developed and preserved affordable homes across diverse communities, using metrics-driven planning to ensure projects are financially viable and socially impactful. We steward properties with transparency, uphold resident rights, and pursue scalable models that expand access to stable housing for generations to come.
“With help from the brilliant Carmen, we built and purchased an affordable home in next to no time, and we’ll be moving in next week. We couldn't be happier!” – Michael and Debra McClurg
