Block Club Program
Block Club Program
A great way to strengthen your community is by starting a block club. It’s a simple but powerful way to bring neighbors together, making your street safer and more connected. By working as a team, you can tackle shared concerns, from organizing a neighborhood clean-up to planning a fun block party. A block club gives everyone a voice and the ability to make a real difference right where they live. So why not get the ball rolling? You could be the one to start this positive change and build a stronger, more vibrant neighborhood for everyone.
For help getting started contact Tonya@regentparkcommunity.org or call (313) 770-4142
*Churches and nonprofit organizations DO NOT have to register to be a block club. Please contact your district managers for questions.
REGENT PARK - REVITALIZING THE COMMUNITY
REGENT PARK - REVITALIZING THE COMMUNITY
Regent Park is a neighborhood where homes are being renovated and community efforts are breathing new life into the area. Residents enjoy centrally located green spaces and nearby shops and amenities, and Realtor Kenneth Thompson of Math Realty, who also works as a volunteer for the local community group LifeBUILDERS, says Regent Park is currently in a period of revitalization. “You’re seeing houses being renovated, and community advocacy groups like ours are helping people buy their first home, building community gardens on vacant lots and doing community cleanup."

For reporting running water, potholes, damaged street signs, and other issues the Improve Detroit mobile app makes reporting a neighborhood problem to City Hall easier than ever.
This app uses your location and gives you a menu of common quality-of-life conditions to choose from in your service request.
Uploading a photo with your report also helps the City staff quickly identify the problem.
You may comment on your submissions and you will be notified when the status of the issue is updated.
