Reduce housing insecurity by increasing mutual aid.

Mutual Aid is a voluntary reciprocal exchange of resources and services for mutual benefit. Mutual aid projects can be a form of political participation in which people take responsibility for caring for one another and changing political conditions.

Providing Mutual Aid just got easier and it all starts with a community of migrants, local residents, and displaced persons.

Guests Pay Full Price

Paying guests receive their own fully furnished room, access to washer/dryer, parking, computers, home entertainment system with no leasing requirements. Anything over operational costs and our urban blight program go into the mutual aid pool.

Financial Contributions

The community provides. Members of the Lansing community and beyond provide financial contributions to our pool, allowing us to help even more displaced persons, and for necessities, such as toiletries, detergent, new-home kits, and food for our Free Food Pantry. The Umoja House is a B-Corporation which allows us to provide direct cash assistance to individuals no matter their specific needs.

Direct Contributions

Others provide direct mutual aid by donating necessities, such as food for our Free Food Pantry, bedding, tents, etc. While others use their technical skills to help with case management, gardening, and housing repairs.

We love our partners
They are the engine behind our project
