GIVE: To those in need. TRANSFORM: The world. INSPIRE: A legacy.

Detroit Is My Home’s purpose is to identify, address, educate, coordinate, and provide aid/relief to the impoverished and homeless populations in a local and statewide capacity.

Our hope as a non-profit organization is to start a movement. A movement where we inspire Detroit and Michigan pride among our supporters and those we support. We aspire to partner and team up with like-minded non-profits throughout the city of Detroit in order to better service those in need. Our short-term goals are to provide immediate relief by distributing material goods such as hot meals, clothing, and care packages that are comprised of necessary items requested by homeless shelter residents and residents stuck on the streets. Our long-term goals are to implement sustainable programs to include: educational assistance, vocational training, resume building, job assistance and a housing first program to get individuals off the streets and safe in their own homes. We employ social media channels and the organization’s website to provide facts, statistics and other relevant data on causes, current efforts and solutions and resource referrals for services residents may need. We believe in providing relief and assistance to those all those struggling from poverty and hunger regardless of their race, ethnicity or religion.

• We were founded as an nonprofit organization in 2015 by a group of young individuals who shared a common vision to aid and contribute in the fight against homelessness in Detroit.
• Since we have formed, we have distributed over 600 care packages, 1000 hot meals, numerous clothing drive distributions, one 6-month long shelter beautification and mural project, and raise a lot of awareness on social media about the topic.
• Our journey has been one of humbling success. We have gained amazing volunteers, directors, organizational partnerships/collaborations, and most important of all, friendships with those we serve.
