Who We Are
United Tenants of Albany (UTA) is a community based nonprofit organization
that works to improve housing conditions, both in terms of physical conditions
and in terms of tenants' rights for security and equity. UTA responds
to calls throughout the Capital District and concentrates its activities
in low and moderate income neighborhoods in Albany.
Mission
The mission of UTA is to protect tenants rights for safe, decent and
affordable housing, with special emphases on those who have the greatest
need or who experience the most severe problems and to promote the development
and preservation of more affordable housing.
Background
Over the past 3 decades UTA has worked to improve code enforcement, campaign
for rent regulations, challenge bank redlining and support the development
and preservation of affordable housing. We have linked up with public
housing tenants, mobile home park tenants, concerned home owners and responsible
landlords on issues of housing justice. Our coalition building efforts
include work with local churches, neighborhood associations and civic
groups, NYS Tenants & Neighbors and National Peoples Action.
UTA carries on this tradition with a combination of direct services and community organization. The direct service activities range from crisis intervention to counseling and advocacy. The community organization work includes bringing small groups of people together and joint efforts with other organizations on broader housing issues.
Public funding sources for UTA include The Albany Community Development Agency, The Albany County Department of Social Services, The NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Private funding sources for UTA include Catholic Charities of the Albany Diocese, Newkirk Products, JP Morgan Chase Manhattan Bank, M&T Bank, Hudson River Bank & Trust Co., Newkirk Products , The E. A. Barvoets Fund and scores of individuals (many through the State Employees Federal Appeal).
