​Housing Redevelopment

As a nonprofit community development organization, GUD owns and manages 28 units of Eco-Affordable housing scattered at over 28 sites throughout Wayne County, and growing.
GUD's properties are financed with a complex mix of non-traditional sources, including federal grants and rent subsidies, to reduce debt and guarantee permanent affordability.


Lease to Purchase Program

BFFCO assists families with transferring their government rental subsidy into homeownership. This program allows a family to purchase a home after leasing for 4 years. The family must be enrolled in BFFCO Keys to Transformation Program (KTT), the Lease to Purchase provides pre/post purchase counseling and additional guidance throughout the homeownership process to ensure success. 


Property Management

GUD's Property Management team works to support tenants by building positive relationships and creating eviction plans for at-risk tenants. Examples of our Property Management model include weekly unit inspections, payment plans, community meetings and close coordination with our Support Services team.
