WHO WE ARE
GenesisHOPE is a multi-service community development organization advancing health equity. We are community development professionals leading inclusive and equitable development of places where we live, work, learn and play. We're also community health workers who educate and support people in choosing healthier lifestyles.
We work collaboratively across sectors and disciplines to eliminate unfair individual, institutional and systemic conditions that cause inequities. But, our resiliency is by faith as we stand on our core values and move forward no matter what.
WHAT WE DO
GenesisHOPE promotes healthy living and creates healthy resilient communities that are equitable for all residents of Islandview, the Villages of Detroit, and surrounding neighborhoods. Our people-first approach has made us a trusted community provider and partner. Our in-house expertise, value-driven service delivery, and our vast, rich, and deeply collaborative relationships allow us to promote healthy living so people + places thrive!
GenesisHOPE's areas of focus are community health & development, affordable housing, and open green spaces. Our fundamental principle is healthy people and healthy places begin with good food. Good food provides our minds and bodies with the fuel to think and do!
Affordable Housing & Open Green Spaces
Stable housing as well as quality, safety, and affordability are all factors that impact health outcomes. The American Heart Association recently released a scientific statement on the importance of housing and cardiovascular health and well-being. Social risk factors, such as housing, not only impact the quality of life of places where we live, learn, work and play, but are health factors for people.
GenesisHOPE and Cinnaire Solutions are co-developing 61 homes for families with low-moderate and average area incomes-- homes that are efficient and sustainable. The family-friendly community promotes healthy living and physical activity with plenty of open green spaces; a community garden to increase access to fresh foods; and provides ample parking and access to major bus lines.

We'd like to thank our supporters and investors!
