Southwest Solutions is nationally recognized as a model of community building. We are a leading provider of both human services and affordable housing and economic development. Our goal is to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and families, while making southwest Detroit a place where people choose to live because of its vitality and diversity. We help those who were at the margins of society turn the page and write new chapters of resilience and purpose.
Our programs are wide-ranging and work in concert to create a full system of support that promotes recovery and improves quality of life. We serve people of all ages and backgrounds. And, when we cannot accomplish a project or program on our own, we collaborate with other agencies to address identified needs and build effective partnerships.
The structure of Southwest Solutions has three parts: Counseling, Housing and Administration. The programs that we provide are generally organized under Counseling or Housing, although, quite often, all three parts of Southwest Solutions come into play in a program’s operation.
Southwest Counseling Solutions is divided into four major program areas or Centers of Excellence:
Adult Counseling Services;
Early Childhood & Family Literacy;
Children, Youth and Families; and
Supportive Housing. Each Center of Excellence offers many different programs and services.
Southwest Housing Solutions is divided into three major program areas:
Housing and Real Estate Development;
Property Management; and the
Housing Opportunity Center. Again, each program area encompasses a broad range of programs and services.
The Administrative Services Organization (ASO) of Southwest Solutions includes our financial operations,
Human Resources, and
Fund Development and Public Affairs. Our
Community Organizing initiative is also part of our ASO.
