Recovery Housing
DRMM currently provides two types of Recovery Housing.
For those in need of supportive services to address substance abuse and its overall impact on their lives, DRMM residents have the opportunity to be housed as they work towards stability — including education, training and gaining employment. Additional available services may include case management, mental health, and substance abuse aftercare. Follow-up is provided for up to six months after they leave to help them successfully overcome all obstacles to independence and stability.
Facilities

Target Population: Single Women and women with children working on substance abuse aftercare.

Permanent Housing
Permanent Housing Residents must have a disability that prevents the resident from independently living in community housing. These may include chronic, debilitating health issues, mental illnesses, severe substance addictions, or developmental delays. They may remain in the program as long as they like.

DRMM has housing prioritized for Veterans at our 211 Glendale location in Highland Park. The new apartments include kitchenettes, upgraded fixtures and renovated common areas that will meet the needs of veterans to serve as permanent, sustainable housing. Renovations were supported through donations from our partners the Community Solutions, Rocket Community Fund and The Home Depot Foundation.

MGIA Brings New Life to DRMM’s 211 Glendale Veteran Housing
The Michigan Green Industry Association (MGIA) selected Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries’ 211 Glendale Veteran Housing as the recipient for its 2024 Day of Service. This was the second year a DRMM site was selected.
MGIA members donated their time, equipment, and expertise to beautify the grounds, with activities including bed cleanup, fertilizing, mowing, raking, hardscaping, tree trimming, tree injection, mulching, and planting.
They installed a place for horseshoes, a fire pit, a vegetable garden, apple trees, warming lamps, birdfeeders, a walking path, and a new grill in the courtyard of the building!
They also received a new flag for the front of the building that was raised during a flag ceremony led by the Renaissance High School ROTC to honor veterans in attendance. The plant material, landscape supplies, labor, equipment and monetary donations to complete this task totaled an in-kind donation of over $100,000.
Thank you to Glenda McDonald, Mayor of Highland Park for joining us for the ceremony!
A very special thank you to Robert Bywalec and Steve Udell of MGIA for their partnership and unwavering support of DRMM.
The Michigan Green Industry Association (MGIA) is a statewide professional trade association serving the green industry for over 60 years. MGIA promotes education and certification to its members and has set high standards of professionalism and business integrity for Michigan’s green industry contractors.
DRMM and our residents of 211 Glendale are very thankful for this amazing transformation.
