Helping Children, Adults and Families Live Healthier, Happier lives.

Earlier this year, the Development Centers Board of Directors recently approved a plan to combine our organization with another mission-driven nonprofit, Southwest Solutions, to form a new organization with a new name.

We’re still the same organization you support and trust, and by pursuing this change with Southwest Solutions, we’re in an even better position to continue our work as we expand our existing programs and services to meet the needs of those served by both organizations.

In 2022, both organizations collectively served more than 22,000 individuals, and this change allows us to expand this reach – especially when the ways of addressing mental health have become more complex after the COVID–19 pandemic.

Southwest Solutions and Development Centers are both financially stable and by combining resources, we will be even better equipped to serve individuals, families and communities throughout Wayne County.

The name and mission statement of the new organization will be announced in the fall when a rebranding is complete. In the meantime, we will continue to keep this site updated with Development Centers’ current projects and success stories.
