Our History
Detroit Community Care Network (DCCN) is a faith-based organization that serves the Detroit community by supporting the health & well-being of its people. In 2016, a group of dedicated volunteers from Third New Hope Baptist Church began work to build a care network to serve members of its congregation and surrounding community in need of support with basic needs, food, shelter, employment, etc. In June 2017, Third New Hope Community Care Network with the support of St. John Providence Health System’s Mission Fund began serving its members and the community at large. The success of Third New Hope’s work was shared with other church leaders who quickly joined the initiative, forming what is known today as Detroit Community Care Network (DCCN).
The Present
Today, DCCN has six member churches all operated by a collection of caring volunteers utilizing as its foundation, “Transition to Success”, a demonstrated standard of care that helps support individuals and families as they transition from dependency to self-sufficiency. Together, in partnership with United Way 211, St. John Providence Health System, Tri-Unity Community Development Corporation, Melagro Technology and TTS-LLC, DCCN delivers a comprehensive network focused on accessible, coordinated care responding directly to the social determinants of health.
