“While it’s deeply troubling that these individuals are alleged to have misused our company emails and computers, the charges confirm that the integrity of UCHC’s programs are not being called into question. We take this matter very seriously. The individuals identified in the complaint have been suspended, we are cooperating fully with the investigation, and we are also conducting an internal review. Meanwhile, the United Community Housing Coalition will continue its unwavering advocacy work for Detroiters as it has done for the last 50 years.”
