METRODETROITD4

Formed in 2010 in conjunction with the Partnership for Working Families, D4 strives to make Metro Detroit more equitable, prosperous, and sustainable. We do this through tapping into our national network of best practices and experts, rigorous data analysis, and meaningful engagement with stakeholders. We work with decision makers to cultivate effective public policy and legislation; we partner with grassroots organizations to launch on-the-ground campaigns negotiating community benefits with developers; and we hone the leadership skills of community leaders to help them organize their own neighborhood... We want to reinvent the development process, which too often unfairly burdens low-income families and people of color. Many communities are disenfranchised from development decisions, leading to neighborhood displacement, environmental degradation, and the worst access to quality commercial amenities, city services, education, health care, and jobs for those who need them the most.
