Our community. Better. Together.
The Lincoln Park Social Development Coalition is an ad-hoc collective of leaders, neighbors, and service providers committed to improving residents’ access to quality resources in Lincoln Park, Michigan.
This Coalition is truly unique to Lincoln Park. It is our vision to integrate social development into our official governing processes in a kind and degree that parallels the way economic development is, and to measure the success of our efforts just as we track economic success. To our knowledge, no other community in Michigan–and few anywhere, actually–is making a meaningful attempt to do that.
