When I first became Mayor 12 years ago, listening to Detroit residents was a top priority as our city began to change. Thanks to residents like Marilyn Winfrey who invited me into their homes, we were able to have meaningful conversations about the future of our neighborhoods.

Block Clubs have been a key part of Detroit’s neighborhood development, growing from 200 to more than 600 over the past 12 years. Residents taking action to support their communities has been integral to Detroit’s transformation.
