DR MAYA angelou village
Dr. Maya Angelou Village provides 45 units of affordable and permanent supportive housing designed to address the needs of young adults and families who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. The development was conceived with Alternatives for Girls (AFG), a lauded non-profit service agency in Detroit.
The development is named after Dr. Maya Angelou with full support of the author, poet and civil rights activist’s family. Much of Angelou’s work seeks to tell her own story of overcoming trauma as a girl and young woman whose experiences are mirrored by the underserved, marginalized girls and young women served by AFG.

Supportive Services
Full Circle Communities partnered with Alternatives for Girls (AFG) nearly a decade ago to develop and operate Dr. Maya Angelou Village and provide residents with tailored services. AFG has served Detroit for over 40 years and pulls from their experience to connect residents with the support, resources, and opportunities necessary to be safe, to grow strong, and to succeed. These services are bolstered by MiSide, a Detroit-based community impact network. On-site case managers provide residents with:
- Employment, Education, and Financial Support
- Case Management and Service Coordination
- Child and Family Services
- Community Events and Activities
- Health and Wellness Services
Services are voluntary and not a condition of tenancy. Offerings are subject to change based on scheduling and resource availability.
