We build power in Jacksonville’s Urban Core through partnership, investment and trust.

In 2018 the vision was given, unify Urban Core residents to facilitate the necessary changes. 

UCI works to rebuild communities from within, we recruit Advocates of Care and organize residents and stakeholders to share their time, knowledge, skillsets, passions and experiences for the positive transformation of Jacksonville's Urban Core communities.

The mission of UCI is to counter profit led gentrification through partnerships with community stakeholders and residents to increase home ownership, and unify community investments. 

We link to social services: Financial Literacy, Credit Counseling, and Mental Health Services to ensure success as homeowners, and leaders of home and community.

 "Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes."
