Bailey Park Neighborhood Development Corporation (BPNDC) acquired the Hub in 2020 during the pandemic to enhance services for the McDougall-Hunt neighborhood. Conveniently located a block and a half from Bailey Park, the two-story house initially focused on providing PPE and pandemic safety information. However, as community needs evolved, the Hub expanded its services. Bailey Park NDC is now dedicated to transitioning the Hub into a community resilience center, offering a wide array of services to meet the needs of residents.


Currently, the BPNDC Community Resiliency Hub serves not only McDougall-Hunt residents but also those within the city of Detroit. The Hub provides essential resources such as food, PPE, and basic needs assistance. Additionally, it offers workforce training, youth programming, and senior programming. These services aim to address immediate needs while also fostering long-term resilience within the community.


The transition of the Hub into a community resilience center represents a significant step forward for BPNDC and the McDougall-Hunt neighborhood. By expanding services and outreach, the Hub is poised to become a central hub for community engagement and support. Through its multifaceted approach, the Hub is not only meeting current needs but also laying the foundation for a stronger, more resilient community in the future.
