Welcome to
the Villages of Detroit
Stronger neighborhoods through investment, collaboration, and diversity.
Supporting Detroit Neighborhoods
Shaping a Future Rooted in Community
The Villages CDC is a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating economic development in the Villages of Detroit, a collection of neighborhoods located on Detroit’s east side.
Through business attraction, community advocacy and organizing, and urban design and planning, we work to celebrate, strengthen and preserve the social and economic fabric of one of the most diverse and longstanding communities in Detroit.
2025 Strategic Plan
Building a Stronger Future
Everything we do is centered on growing and protecting our community.
From getting better infrastructure, to supporting local business, to stabilizing housing, our vision is a district that welcomes, invites and retains everyone.
