Welcome to City Residency
Becoming a City Resident means more than joining a community—it means stepping into a role of empowerment, connection, and collaboration. As a resident of The City, you become an integral part of a network dedicated to preserving Black American lineage, fostering self-sufficiency, and building cooperative communities.
City Residency is your gateway to meaningful engagement, exclusive resources, and the opportunity to shape the future of our collective legacy.
The City is more than a resource center—it’s a movement rooted in the rich legacy of Black American lineage communities.
We are a safe space where history is preserved, futures are built, and the principles of trust, privacy, and cultural pride guide every step. As the Underground Lineage Community Resource Center, The City empowers members to honor their roots, organize for progress, and protect the legacy we’re creating together.
Inspired by the spirit of the Underground Railroad, The City is a modern hub for connection, growth, and resilience, dedicated to ensuring our communities thrive for generations to come.
The City began with a vision: to create a safe, empowering space where Black American lineage communities could connect, organize, and thrive.
Born out of the need for privacy, trust, and cultural pride, The City first emerged as The Delineation Station—a grassroots initiative dedicated to protecting and advancing the interests of Black American descendants. As the need for lineage verification became clear, The City expanded its mission to ensure every member could confidently connect with their history and contribute to a collective legacy.
Inspired by the spirit of the Underground Railroad, The City is building cooperative, interdependent communities where members work together for mutual growth and self-sufficiency. Through this shared effort, we are creating a network of trust, support, and innovation that empowers individuals while strengthening the whole.
Today, The City stands as the Underground Lineage Community Resource Center, providing the tools, education, and resources needed to foster resilience, preserve history, and build a stronger future.
In The City, we provide the tools, support, and resources Black American Descendants need to thrive and build collectively. Our offerings are designed to empower individuals while fostering the strength of our community.
