Our Purpose
Transforming vacant land into welcoming public spaces

Vision
Safe, inspiring spaces in every neighborhood — where residents find confidence, connection, and pride in the places they call home.

- 10 activated spaces along JLG by 2028
- 50+ volunteers in the movement
- Recurring events and workshops
About the Greenway
The Joe Louis Greenway connects 23 neighborhoods across 27.5 miles
But infrastructure alone isn't community. Bloom activates the adjacent land — creating visible hubs for youth engagement, education, local collaboration, and belonging. We're building the spaces where neighborhood life happens.
Featured Space
Greenlawn Community Space
Greenlawn Community Space
Our first activated community site — a gathering place for learning, programming, and neighborhood connection. Greenlawn is the proof point for the Bloom model: transforming vacant land into welcoming public spaces that build confidence, connection, and pride.
