Sustainable Housing & Equitable Development

SHED, Inc. is a volunteer based 501(c)(3) working to strengthen housing equity for low- to moderate-income residents of University City and the surrounding area. We partner with local nonprofits, faith-based organizations, academic institutions, city government, the school district, and other area service providers to fulfill our mission to build stable foundations for accessible and inclusive communities. Through our programs, we provide home maintenance and occupied rehab in order to maintain quality affordable housing and to support home ownership. In addition, we partner with the school district to provide career pathways in the skilled trades for high school students. We are a resident-led organization. Our primary service area is the 3rd Ward of University City, which includes the neighborhoods north of Olive Boulevard.
