Highlighting the Work of Our Grant Partners
From our grant partner, Detroit Phoenix Center:
"We are incredibly proud to share this mini-documentary created in partnership with University of Michigan Poverty Solutions that highlights the power of youth leadership in shaping Detroit’s first youth rapid rehousing program.
We believe that young people must be at the center of the solutions that impact them. This project embodies that belief—our Youth Action Board (YAB) members and young leaders with lived experience played a vital role in designing a housing-first model that provides stability, wraparound support, and dignity to Detroit’s youth.
Thank you to University of Michigan Poverty Solutions, the McGregor Fund, and Moon Reflections Photography & Videography for capturing the heart of this work.
Watch the trailer and see how Detroit youth are leading the way!"

Thank you McGregor Fund the recognition is truly appreciated!
"It can't just be about a number. It has to be about a person. And if we are not intentional about ensuring that we're aligning individuals with programs and services that meet their needs, then we're not going to be as effective as we possibly can in terms of reducing the number of individuals who experience chronic homelessness."
- Mark Erwin, Executive Director, Ruth Ellis Center

McGregor Fund Founders
More than 100 years ago, the McGregors devoted their lives to community service – Tracy as an agency founder and social entrepreneur ending homelessness and unemployment for Detroit men, and Katherine as the founder and benefactor of an orphanage in Highland Park. Their proximity to people experiencing hardship and trauma informed their charitable giving and Tracy’s role as a civic leader.
