Community & Economic Development
Mission Areas
Economy, place, and opportunity are inextricably linked. For all Detroiters to participate in the city’s recovery—given an enduring legacy of disinvestment in poor and minority communities—economic growth must be linked to strategies that intentionally connect people and communities to opportunity. The Hudson-Webber Foundation invests in community and civic efforts that provide high quality jobs for all Detroiters, strengthen neighborhoods to provide opportunities and quality of life for residents, and help achieve stable racial and economic diversity and interconnectedness.
