Hamtramck Community Initiative - "Weed and Seed"

A team of community leaders and residents has submitted a request to the U.S. Department of Justice for funding from the "Weed and Seed" grant program. This program provides money and support for efforts to remove (weed out) bad influences from a community and help support (seed in) positive influences instead.

This effort is known as the Hamtramck Community Initiative. It has four subgroups that meet regularly to help plan for the health of the Hamtramck community. There are also general steering committee meetings (see below). All residents are invited to attend subgroup and steering committee meetings. Here are the dates and locations of upcoming meetings:
