Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision (SDEV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to improve Southwest Detroit’s economy and environment.
The organization serves as a voice for creating an environmentally healthy community that is a model for urban revitalization prioritizing community participation.
SDEV works as a coalition in partnership with residents, community organizations, governmental agencies, schools, industries and businesses to address issues such as air and water quality, incompatible land use, and blight (such as illegal dumping, abandoned homes, and graffiti).
Its Healthy Air Team works on behalf of residents to obtain cleaner air rules and to help businesses and institutions reduce pollution from their operations.
Funded through memberships, individual and corporate donations, as well as grants, SDEV’s work would not be possible without the dedication of community volunteers.
