Southwest Solutions offers many ways for individuals, organizations and corporations to support our mission 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. Donations enable us to expand successful programs, better respond to community need, and withstand periodic funding cutbacks. Our volunteer program allows you to invest your talents and energies in helping to change lives and build community.

Since 2006, we have received donations from more than 500 individuals. With these unrestricted funds, we have been able to help low-income tenants in our apartment buildings; help families avert foreclosure; help persons needing counseling for grief, trauma or depression but who don’t fit current funding guidelines. We were also able to preserve Family Literacy programs when federal funds were severely cut.
