Osborn Community Brilliant Detroit House

Families in the Osborn neighborhood are deeply engaged in making sure their children have everything they need to be successful. Osborn saw a particularly large decrease in children and families over the last 20 years, but despite these losses many neighbors have continued to stand together through a series of block clubs and community organizations. The challenges and ever-present resilience of this neighborhood has attracted numerous revitalization efforts to board up vacant houses, renovate schools, and recognize the vibrant Osborn art scene. In the months prior to acquiring a house in Osborn, Brilliant Detroit worked with a dedicated and passionate group of volunteers who hit the streets everyday, looking for leads on a house that could one day sport the famous orange doors.
