The Brightmoor Alliance is a coalition of nearly 50 organizations dedicated to serving northwest Detroit’s Brightmoor community.

Together, we pursue a vision for our community that is built on faith and provides opportunities for all residents of this community to pray, grow, learn, thrive and play. Founded in 2000, the Alliance was established in response to conditions in the community, including poor housing, a high crime rate, and a staggering amount of vacant land. Community organizations – many of which had partnered with one another over the years – felt that the time was right to mobilize community resources and focus their combined efforts to revitalize the area.
