Detroit Future City’s Equitable Neighborhood Planning team combines original research, cross-sector collaboration, technical assistance, and policy development to foster a more equitable and resilient city. Currently, we serve as the backbone organization for the Detroit Neighborhood Housing Compact, a collaborative of industry and community leaders working collectively to improve housing quality and affordability in Detroit neighborhoods, for both renters and homeowners.
We also promote innovative strategies for equitable redevelopment and reparative investment in Detroit neighborhoods. Currently, we are engaged in efforts to address the legacy of racist urban renewal and freeway construction policies that led to the destruction of historic Black neighborhoods. See our “Call for Reparative Investment in Black Bottom and Paradise Valley” for more information on this initiative.

Detroit Neighborhood Housing Compact
The Compact brings together a diverse group of public, private, and non-profit stakeholders to focus on improving the state of single-family housing in Detroit neighborhoods. Through monthly working group meetings, open to anyone who shares a passion for equitable housing solutions, the Compact is working to make housing more affordable for low- and moderate-income Detroiters, while also ensuring that stable and healthy housing is available for all.
Detroit Neighborhood Housing Compact Work Groups
Our Housing Work Group meets from 10:00am to 11:30am via ZOOM on the third Tuesday of each month.
