About Us
The DHDC was founded in 1997 with the aim of increasing the quality of life and creating opportunities for the predominantly Hispanic and Latinx community in Southwest Detroit. Today, the DHDC serves over 5,000 people annually in its mission and in support of its vision to effectuate a thriving, culturally vibrant, and safe community in which everyone has quality opportunities for self-determination, education and personal wealth.
Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation works in two critical areas: individual-level change and community/systems-level change. Our programs are designed to increase resident capacity as agents of change and self-determination in their own families, schools, and communities, which is fundamental to the development of community self-determination and transformation.
We focus on community engagement at the personal, social, educational, and economic levels, working to build self-determination, self-confidence, personal skills, relationships among and between neighborhoods and institutions; a sense of power over personal and neighborhood life; and access to and control of resources.
