Church committed to rebuilding the North End

Excerpts from the article:

The Genesis Villas at Medbury Park development – consisting of 89 townhouses and apartments – has brought life to the area and the city.

Vanguard’s goal is to reclaim, restore and rebuild Detroit’s North End, an area bounded by Highland Park’s southern border, I-94, East Grand Boulevard and Woodward, and nearby neighborhoods for its residents.

Just late last month, ground was broken on a new project, Melrose Square Homes, located in the area of East Grand Boulevard, Oakland, Clay and I-75, where 24 single-family affordable houses are under construction.

Vanguard will build a total of more than 300 housing units, a $35-million investment, in and near the North End.

On Dec. 13 and 14, Vanguard will host Vanguard Vision in Action: Building on Faith, a faith-based community development conference. The conference will invite attendees to look at best-practice faith-based development models nationally. The topics will include effective youth programs, managing a 501c(3) organization, grant writing, technology, real estate development and family development.
