The Booth Community Groundbreaking – RSVP Required
April 9 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Join us as we break ground on The Booth Community, a transformational Permanent Supportive Housing development that will restore the historic St. Mary of Redford Parish School into a place where people experiencing chronic homelessness can rebuild their lives.
Groundbreaking at The Booth Community marks the start of something lasting—for residents, the neighborhood, and our city—and we hope you’ll stand with us as we celebrate a project that brings people home and preserves a vital piece of Detroit’s history.
