Hope Starts Here Detroit is a powerful initiative launched in 2017 to transform early childhood systems in Detroit. This collaboration brings together The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, M&M Fisher Foundation, various agencies, community organizations and Detroit residents to create a city that prioritizes young children and families. Detroit faces significant challenges: Over 60% of children under five live in poverty, and infant mortality rates are double the national average. Hope Starts Here tackles these issues with a community-driven approach, engaging 18,000 residents and 225 organizations through 125 listening sessions. Guided by Six Imperatives, the initiative focuses on improving health care access, providing high-quality education, creating safe environments, aligning systems and securing funding. This effort has already led to substantial improvements, such as better health care access and increased high-quality early childhood spaces. Together, we can make a difference. Let’s support Detroit’s children and families on their journey to a brighter future. https://wkkf.co/lorf
