In 1997, Angela Reyes founded the Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation from her living room, “because I was tired of burying children”. In an attempt to reduce local violence DHDC’s initial program formed after forging a truce with the leaders of several rival gangs by encouraging them to “retire” in return for jobs in local Hispanic-owned manufacturing companies.
DHDC is committed to meeting the needs of our community by providing quality, innovative and culturally appropriate programs and services, primarily in Southwest Detroit. DHDC works in partnership with education, business, and the community in order to overcome barriers to employment, education and healthy lifestyles.
We believe that by assisting individuals to recognize their own strengths and skills they are able to make life-changing choices that will transform their lives and community.
What our Logo Means Our logo is taken from a Mayan glyph or “MANIK”. The glyph is a stylized hand that symbolizes transformation and entering into a new stage of life. The logo reflects our philosophy and vision for the community.
