Mission and programs · 2023
Mission
Our organization works to stabilize and strengthen under-resourced Detroit neighborhoods by addressing the root causes of poverty, violence, and inequality through community-led outreach, data-driven programming, and advocacy. We focus on communities experiencing concentrated economic hardship, limited access to employment, housing instability, and high rates of violence-conditions that disproportionately impact low-income families and youth.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Detroit based grassroots resident driven organization dedicated to improving the lives of poor Detroiters, through advocacy and direct programming efforts in five key areas: Community Development, Direct Resources, Basic Needs, Community Advocacy and Safety.

Over a four-month period, the Tax Foreclosure Prevention initiative Neighbor2Neighbor conducted outreach to 64,003 residential units ("doors") identified as potentially at risk. During this campaign, staff successfully made 20,406 direct contacts with residents or property stakeholders. This resulted in a 40.18% contact rate, meaning that approximately two out of every five households reached through outreach efforts engaged in direct communication with the program. This level of engagement within a relatively short time frame demonstrates substantial outreach penetration across the target population. Achieving over 20,000 contacts in four months indicates consistent field or communication activity and suggests that the outreach strategy was effective in reaching a significant share of at-risk households. While more than half of the targeted properties remain not contacted, the current contact rate provides a strong foundation for continued engagement, follow up communication, and connection to foreclosure prevention resources. Overall, the data reflects meaningful progress in identifying and engaging homeowners at risk of tax foreclosure, while also highlighting the opportunity to expand outreach methods to further increase contact rates in future phases of the program.

Shot Stoppers Program - Community Violence Intervention. There are many accomplishments we've executed. Over the course of 20 weeks of engagement within the Detroit Public Schools Community District, the Shot Stoppers Program implemented a comprehensive community violence intervention strategy focused on prevention, mediation, youth engagement, and direct support for individuals at high risk. During this period, the program responded to 45 incidents requiring violent intervention and mediation, demonstrating an active presence in addressing conflicts before they escalated further. These interventions reflect the program's role as a rapid-response and relationship-based violence interruption effort within the community. Youth engagement was also a central component of the initiative. The program facilitated 15 field trips and enrichment sessions, providing students with constructive activities and exposure to positive experiences beyond their immediate environment. These opportunities supported mentorship, relationship building, and alternatives to violence for participating youth. The program also launched its inaugural 20-week Violence Deterrence Fellowship Program, designed to equip participants with the skills, resources, and mentorship necessary to become community leaders and violence prevention advocates. As of this reporting period, the fellowship is 9 weeks into its first cohort, marking an important milestone in developing long-term community-based violence prevention capacity. In addition to prevention and engagement work, the program provided critical safety support for individuals facing immediate threats. The team conducted three emergency relocations for at-risk and high-risk individuals, ensuring immediate protection and stabilization. These relocations were supported by a comprehensive intake and referral process, along with the development of a risk assessment protocol designed to identify urgent needs and connect individuals with a coordinated list of immediate resources. Overall, the data reflects a multi-layered violence prevention approach that combines direct intervention, youth engagement, leadership development, and crisis response to support safer communities.

JumpStart was an innovative workforce development program launched by the City of Detroit and funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). It aimed to support Detroiters facing significant barriers to employment: such as long-term unemployment, lack of a high school diploma, or economic hardship; by providing access to education, training, individualized coaching, and job placement. The program partnered with community organizations (IDOs) to deliver support and ensure participants receive the resources needed to succeed. Since launch, JumpStart served over 1,800 Detroiters, helping hundreds secure jobs, earn credentials, and build brighter futures for their families. Employment and Readiness Outcomes (Detroit Peoples Community) Detroit Peoples Community enrolled 445 participants in the JumpStart program. Not all participants entered job- ready; many engaged in multiple tracks on their way to employment. Detroit Peoples Community helped participants strengthen their skills, pursue education, and prepare for long-term success. * 9 participants obtained their GED * 271 participants entered training programs * 287 participants secured employment Detroit Peoples Community has been an important partner in the JumpStart program, providing Detroiters with real opportunities for skill-building and economic mobility. Over the course of the year, Detroit Peoples Community delivered a robust menu of services-including training, individualized coaching, and direct connections to local employers. The organization's hands-on, supportive approach resulted in 287 participants securing employment. By focusing on everyone's strengths and career goals, they helped jobseekers find positions that matched their aspirations, laying the foundation for long-term success. Detroit Peoples Community's strong performance reflects a deep commitment to Detroit's residents. Through targeted training, dedicated coaching, and ongoing encouragement, this IDO has empowered Detroiters to overcome barriers, achieve their goals, and build better futures for themselves and their families. Their achievements set a powerful example for workforce programs citywide, showing what's possible when our community is equipped with the resources and support it needs to thrive.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
