The Urban Safety
Corps is located on the University of Michigan-Flint campus, with program
oversight provided by the Department of Public Safety for UM-Flint. The program
is working to implement initiatives to increase public safety by decreasing
victimization and increasing community in the University Avenue Corridor. The
interventions employed by the Program are intended to reduce blight, support
community by promoting communication among residents/organizations and engage
volunteers from across the greater Flint area to stimulate not only community
service, but national service as well.
