“Hope village revitalization is a community-led, community driven organization whose mission is to move the hope village neighborhood forward in a way that mitigates disparities in wealth, privilege and educational resources. We pledge to collaborate and be part of the collective working toward equitable and sustainable development in detroit, and to be known as a model of excellence, integrity and community decision making.”

“The organization focuses on three main areas listed below: fresh and healthy food access : the organization led the development of a new weekly farmers market and several community gardens across the neighborhood as a part of its work to build a fresh and local food system. The organization is committed to growing and expanding its vibrant farmer market to serve as a hub of community connection, resources, and art/cultural expression. In 2019-20, the organization distributed over 30,000 pounds of fresh produce in partnership with eastern market and hosted 14 farmers markets. Sustainable, affordable housing: the organization is committed to energy efficient, sustainable, and affordable housing for all neighborhood residents. The organization's programs in this area are focused on expanding education about and access to energy efficiency, renewable energy, recycling, rain gardens and climate resilience among neighborhood residents. It is also working towards the goal of creating energy efficient, affordable housing redevelopment for neighborhood residents incorporating elements of shared equity and long- term leases for renters. It uses its headquarters building, the lasalle eco-demonstration home, as an educational hub to provide information regarding solar panels, led lighting, energy efficient windows, sustainable flooring, rainwater gardens, and porous pavement walkways. In 2019-20, the organization launched an energy efficiency assistance program to provide no cost access for low-income residents to high efficiency furnaces and water heaters for neighborhood residents, as well as attic and basement insulation and infiltration reduction. Community connection and placemaking: in the area of equitable community development and culturally relevant placemaking, the organization serves as a neighborhood connector and hub in order to expand access to opportunity and resources for neighborhood residents. It has a long track record of placemaking, including creation of the cool cities park on a former brownfields site, sponsoring neighborhood art installations, and providing local arts and culture performances and festivals.”
