Southwest Solutions is one of Detroit’s most impactful nonprofits, serving about 10,000 people every year. Founded in 1970 as a community mental health agency, our programs now include neighborhood and community development, affordable and supportive housing, services for the homeless and veterans, job training, financial counseling and homeownership opportunities, minority small business programs, adult literacy, resident engagement, and more.

We are defined not by a single initiative but by the multiple needs we address, and how we interconnect our services holistically to provide families and individuals the greatest chance to succeed and improve their quality of life.

Our goal is help alleviate poverty, promote self-sufficiency, and revitalize neighborhoods. We actively partner with others in the nonprofit, public, private and philanthropic sectors to pursue this goal.

Our collaborative work to help address veteran and chronic homelessness exemplifies our effectiveness. We are the lead agency in a broad and concerted effort to end homelessness in the city. Because of this vigorous effort, the number of chronically homeless and homeless veterans has declined significantly in the past few years.

Our Piquette Square for Veterans is a 150-unit permanent supportive housing project that provides comprehensive support services, including access to healthcare, employment, benefits, and education. It is recognized as a national model in helping formerly homeless veterans rebuild their lives and reintegrate into the community.

We invite you to support our mission of service, which helps vulnerable families and individuals in our community as they aspire for a better life.
