Vanguard's Community Engagement Program is designed to organize community residents and stakeholders. We serve as an information clearing house and education to optimize community engagement in a rapidly changing neighborhood. We organize residents to create change. The purpose is to transmit critically needed information so that residents will be actively engaged in redeveloping their neighborhood as well as making good strategic decisions about such. Included in this activity beginning in 2021, Vanguard completed the beautification of East Grand Boulevard from Woodward Ave to I-75. This project lasted three (3) years. It included art, placemaking, storytelling about the Historic area, clean and safe activities, festivals and more. It was funded by the Knight Foundation with a $1.5 million grant over three (3) years.
