Detroit Future City (DFC) is a nonprofit in Detroit, focused on research and strategies to promote an equitable, inclusive, and sustainable city.[1] The nonprofit works to disrupt systemic racism, poverty, and other inequities to grow household income and wealth for Black Detroiters and other Detroiters of color.[2]
History
In January 2013, the Kresge Foundation pledged $150 million to aid the implementation of the Detroit Works Long Term Planning Project's long-ranging, comprehensive framework for Detroit's future, known as The Detroit Future City plan. The plan envisioned a stabilized population and community by 2030.[3][4][5]
Launched in May 2013, DFC, originally the Detroit Future City Implementation Office, was established to push initiatives outlined in the 50-year strategic framework for transforming and improving the quality of life in Detroit neighborhoods.[6][7] The framework was created in 2012 with input from Detroiters on their vision for Detroit's land, economy, infrastructure, transportation, and neighborhoods.[8]
In January 2016, DFC became an independent nonprofit to catalyze the implementation of the Detroit Strategic Framework.[9] The organization is organized into three departments - Land Use and Sustainability, Community and Economic Development, and the Center for Equity, Engagement, and Research – with an 18-member staff and a 16-member board of directors.[10]
Since 2016, the nonprofit has been led by Anika Goss, formerly of Local Initiatives Support Corporation.[11]
In September 2022, the nonprofit introduced a 2030 plan for improving Detroit neighborhoods and growing Detroit's Black middle class, focused primarily on housing, climate resiliency, and economic opportunity and development.
