Cass Community Social Services is a Detroit nonprofit which offers food, housing, medical and mental health care, as well as vocational training programs that address personal and systemic poverty. The agency has been recognized as an incubator for innovative environmental ideas, and it has actively engaged the larger neighborhood in its efforts to accomplish community development on and off its pedestrian “campus.”
Cass prepares and serves 700,000 meals a year, houses 400 unsheltered men, women, and children a night, operates a free weekly medical clinic and a day program for adults with developmental disabilities, and offers vocational training and green jobs for unemployed and under-employed adults. Our tiny homes program creates the opportunity for low-income individuals to become homeowners. 4,000 people volunteer at Cass each year.
