News & Event
We're grateful to the many new & returning friends who joined us in-person (for the first time since 2019!) at Washtenaw Community College last month. It was a pleasure to share the space with 300+ community members for networking and a program of storytelling, announcements, and community updates. Read on for more, watch the highlight reel, and check out photos on Facebook.

Congratulations to community member Richard King, as the winner of the passport drawing! Richard recommended the $1,000 grant to the Kappa Foundation, Inc., for the benefit of the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti-Inkster Kappa League.
At the Community Meeting, our team was thrilled to announce a commitment of $1 million in Renovare Development, a mission-based housing developer, which is building Dorsey Estates: permanently affordable for-sale housing in Ypsilanti's Depot Town at 220 North Park.
This project will create 46 new, for-sale, single family houses, with 23 homes reserved for homebuyers making 40-80% of the area median income. Those homes will also have deed restrictions to ensure they remain permanently affordable while creating generational wealth for the homeowners.
