This Case is about FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, POLICY, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, STRATEGIC PLANNING
PUBLICATION DATE: October 01, 2003
Thirty years after its foundation in 1973, New York’s Urban Homesteading Assistance Board (UHAB) found itself at crossroads. The non-profit, church-related organization that had long-supplied renters with help in renovating abandoned properties and converting them into cooperatives, UHAB was under pressure to adjust to a changing business climate, as the amount of tax-foreclosed, city-owned properties fell in a resurgent New York City. What is more, UHAB, headed by an identical executive director for more than 20 years, confronted pressures between an idealistic, semi-sovereign staff and the needs and demands of public contracts with conditions that certain tasks be finished in an economical way that was measurably. As UHAB entered its fourth decade, a fresh chief operating officer must address its programmatic and managerial challenges, such that individualism and its idealism could coexist with sensible business practice.
