Focus Area Overview

As citywide decisions about density and changes in land use emerge, we will help develop a framework for investing in neighborhoods. We will link those investments with strategies to create stronger neighborhood schools, preschools and other youth development systems. We will also work to ameliorate the impact of foreclosures.

With city residents and other partners, we hope to help build confidence as well as safe, walkable neighborhoods with education and health services.

Our Funding Process

Our Detroit team members are deeply engaged in the community and aware of emerging and ongoing initiatives with potential to accomplish our goals. As a result, we proactively invite the proposals funded through the Detroit Program.
