Strong community organizations
The small community of Ravendale on Detroit’s east side has seen hard times, but local leaders are committed to restoring the neighborhood’s charm. “We call it the rebirth of Ravendale. We’re working with the city, a local church and police officers to get it back to where it used to be,” says Toni Berni, president of Ravendale Community, Inc. “I tell people if they want to move into a community and work from the ground up, Ravendale is the place to be. The residents are excited about the rebirth of it.” The neighborhood association has partnered with an organization called Detroit Friends and Family, which receives $175,000 each quarter for violence reduction programs and can receive more money based on the program’s success. Berni hopes this program will help make Ravendale a neighborhood people can be proud of.
