What We Do

There’s a lot of talk but not enough walk when it comes to revitalizing Detroit neighborhoods.

Life Remodeled believes Detroiters have all the talent they need, but many don’t have access to all the opportunities they deserve. Therefore, we repurpose properties into one stop hubs of opportunity for entire families to thrive. We fill these iconic buildings with the best and brightest nonprofit organizations who are providing youth programs, workforce development, and human services to tens of thousands of students and community members each year. We help our nonprofit tenants collaborate and create far greater life transformation together than was previously possible alone.

Together, we ensure three things:

  • Through our programs, we more Detroit students perform at or above grade level in math and reading
  • more families have access to essential health and wellness services
  • more community members obtain higher paying jobs and achieve economic self-sufficiency
Interesting Info
  • Since 2014, Life Remodeled has invested $51M into four Detroit neighborhoods, beautified 2,369 blocks and mobilized 81,978 volunteers!
  • We renovated & repurposed Detroit's former Durfee Elementary-Middle School into an opportunity hub w/ nearly 40 nonprofits serving 22,000+ Detroiters anually.
  • Our second formerly vacant school, (Dominican High School on Detroit's east side) will be transformed into our next hub, Anchor Detroit, by July 2025.
