Volunteers

Each year, Detroit Central City (DCC) specializes in providing ongoing mental health services, substance abuse treatment, housing, outreach, and support services to over 4,000 adults in Detroit & Wayne County per year.

This year, DCC has focused its efforts on expanding or developing four key programs that we feel are especially needed in today's economic climate: Adult Literacy and GED Preparation, Transitional & Permanent Supportive Housing, Health & Well-being and our newest iniative, Supported Employment.
