Brilliant Cities
Brilliant Detroit is a non-profit dedicated to building “kid success neighborhoods” where families with children ages 0-8 have what they need to be school-ready, healthy and supported. We do this by purchasing and renovating underutilized homes in the middle of neighborhoods and transforming them into community hubs where we offer evidence-based programming in the areas of education, health, family support, and neighbor-to-neighbor connections.
