The Southwest Detroit Development Collaborative (SDDC) is the coordinating body accountable for facilitation and implementation of the Southwest comprehensive strategy. Acting as a collective voice for its approximately thirty members, the SDDC currently has a seventeen-member elected Board whose mission is to enhance the growth of Southwest Detroit as an ethnically and economically diverse community and promote its image as an exciting place to live, work, shop and play.

SDDC coordinates the six identified quality of life areas of: housing, jobs/economic development, green infrastructure/development, schools/education, safety and environment, and transportation, which Detroit LISC supports consistent with our Sustainable Communities goals.
