OUR PROGRESS & VISION
The ultimate goal of DHI is to assist in transitioning Detroit’s youth, elderly and underserved population towards living healthier and more balanced lives. By providing access to education, health-focused initiatives, social interaction, and mentorship that is available in their community. Our goal is to create a better future for the residents of Detroit and promote holistic well-being in a future DHI Family Life Center facility.
Prior to the demolition of 17404 John R. Street the property was used as a crack house and for prostitution. DHI has since purchased and demolished the building and secured ownership of nine surrounding properties in which we intend to build the DHI Family Life Center.
