About us
MISSION In our pursuit to eliminate poverty, Wayne Metro empowers people and communities to be strong, healthy, and thriving. VISION We envision thriving communities where all people have hope and opportunities to realize their full potential. A BRIEF HISTORY Founded in 1971… Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency (Wayne Metro) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving approximately 35,000 low-and moderate-income residents throughout Wayne County. We provide over 60 programs in the areas of Quality Housing, Family Stability and Economic Opportunities. Our services include financial capability education, homeownership workshops, housing counseling, financial counseling, utility assistance, Head Start, GED preparation, free tax preparation, foreclosure prevention and homeless services. Over the last five decades… our Agency budget has grown from just under $1 million to over $40 million while continuing to maintain a low administrative rate of 8%, ensuring at least $0.92 of every funded or donated dollar is utilized for direct client services. Due to our client-centered services and fiscal responsibility, the State of Michigan appointed Wayne Metro as the Interim Communication Action Agency for the City of Detroit in 2013 with the designation becoming permanent in 2015. Today! Wayne Metro supports all of Wayne County with more than 60 programs and over 600 employees. We are proud to serve our community as one of the most forward-thinking Community Action Agencies in the entire country.

Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency reposted this
This week Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber president Ron Hinrichs joined Chamber board chairman Louis Piszker of Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency, Jazmine Danci of the Downriver Community Conference, and several community and regional leaders including Romulus Mayor Robert McCraight for Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's state budget signing ceremony. The fiscal year 2024 and 25 state budget includes several millions of dollars to fund #Downriver infrastructure projects and economic development programs. We are very grateful for the investment this budget makes into communities like Southgate, Taylor, Romulus, Brownstown, and riverfront economic development projects with the Downriver Community Conference. #ItsHappeningDownriver
