History

 Founded in 1972 by a progressive group of civic leaders, clergy, and concerned residents, Unified Vailsburg Services Organization's mission is to create a stable and compassionate community in the Vailsburg neighborhood of the City of Newark, New Jersey. 

Since opening its doors, UVSO has developed 180 units of housing, 55,000 square feet of commercial space, owns and manages 17 buildings on the UVSO service campus, and works with an active network of block associations that extends throughout Vailsburg called the Heart of Vailsburg (HOV) Block Club Coalition.
