NeighborHUB Grant Program

NeighborHUB is a collaborative effort between the Detroit Regional Chamber and Michigan Economic Development Corporation designed to empower residents to affect change in their communities.

Together, they provide grants to small businesses throughout Detroit, Highland Park, and Hamtramck.

The program recognizes the need to support small businesses as important foundations for communities, especially in traditionally underinvested small business corridors.
