Rebuilding Our Community, One Life at a Time

Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries provides services ranging from emergency shelter to job training. Every day, the services we provide touch the lives of more than 1,600 men, women, and children in the Detroit community. DRMM is much more than a homeless shelter or soup kitchen. Our evidence-based services address the needs of the whole individual. We assist those who are addicted to drugs and alcohol toward their goal of obtaining sobriety. We help teen mothers finish high school and learn critical parenting skills. We help those recently released from prison obtain employability skills, and find housing and gainful employment. We work with S.A.Y. Detroit/DRMM Family Health Clinic to provide free medical care to children and families.

What Makes DRMM Unique

The Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries has been serving Detroit’s homeless and addicted communities since 1909, and it’s one of the largest housing and treatment providers in the Detroit Metro area. However, it is our full Continuum of Care that we provide to those who seek our services, as well as our diverse staff and commitment to spiritual life that make our programs and organization truly unique among others in the community. We get to the root of why someone is experiencing homelessness and offer resources to turn helplessness into hope.

At the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, we believe in treating the total person – mind, body, and spirit! Which is why our programs are designed to provide total healing and rebuilding from start to finish. Depending on a person’s needs when they come through our doors, individuals move from shelter to treatment to housing before they are reintegrated back into their former communities, as well as the workplace and with families. Residents of DRMM programs are provided healthcare, benefits assistance, vocational training, GED classes, job-readiness programs, counseling, spiritual life services, and more to ensure that more than just basic needs are being met.

Because of our commitment to fulfill our mission, individuals who complete DRMM programs in full are positioned well for success when they leave. More than 70 percent of those we serve maintain their sobriety and go on to live independent, productive and recovered lives.
