Building opportunity and equity in Detroit
In March 2021, the Rocket Community Fund and Gilbert Family Foundation announced a 10-year, $500 million philanthropic investment to build economic opportunity in Detroit neighborhoods.
We work in collaboration with the aim of maximizing our impact and driving systemic change. Our focus is on stabilizing the housing of low-income Detroit families at risk of displacement, then following up with targeted investments focused on public life and economic mobility.
