Of course funding is a challenge for most nonprofits, but our biggest challenge was that Humble Design became a logistics nightmare. We recycle 500,000 pounds of furniture a year out of our Pontiac location alone. Our challenge was simply managing and moving all that furniture! We are lucky to have partnered with U-Haul who has provided their trucks and donated warehouse space.

“We want families to feel good about the homes that they’re living in and themselves so they can live happy, stable, dignified lives, the way many of us do and many of us take for granted. So if people have things that they can donate, please, there’s a lot of great organizations. The Furniture Bank is one of them, Humble Design is another, and there’s all kinds of others out there.

Each bay accomodates six people, and is a climate controled space. Your ticket includes the All-American buffet, with fountain drinks, coffee, and tea. A cash bar will be available with a dedicated bar tender. Entering housing is an important step in the journey out of homelessness, but not enough to solve the problem. Half of those who enter housing return to shelters within the year.

And that was the best move I ever made because the first class I signed up for was advertising, where I met my husband, Rob. Rob moved down to Miami for a job; I stayed in New York and graduated, then followed him to Miami where we both worked in advertising for nine years. I moved to Michigan in 2008 with my husband Rob and two children, Henson and Tuesday. We instantly felt a strong kinship to Detroit and the desire to help the community was none that we had known before. Those interested in helping Humble Designs can donate furniture items and money, as well as volunteer their time.

Williams, the number-one draft pick by the Chicago Bears, was one of the many prospective players that stood out for his unique style. The quarterback went with a custom Chrome Hearts suit designed with a side zipper detail and several cross motifs. Williams stated he went with the navy hue to represent the Chicago Bears’ team color. Athletes such as Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr., Darius Robinson, Terrion Arnold and many others used the NFL Draft as a platform to showcase their personal style Thursday night in Detroit. I love to set trends and not worry too much about what people think.

We have been featured on ABC, NBC, CNN, The New York Times, Fast Company, Upworthy, Ford Go Further, The Meredith Vieira Show, Mitch Albom’s Heart of Detroit, Motor City Rising, the Radiant Project and many others. Businesses and families, as well as the local furniture company Gorman’s, all donate furniture to Humble Design. Strasberg said Humble Design is always low on beds, so the organization itself occasionally buys those in bulk. Otherwise, generous community members donate all other furniture items.

We assist the transformation of lives in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, San Diego, and Seattle. MIKE HAN is one of the most exciting artists working here in Detroit, with growing recognition across the country. Drawing deeply on his Korean heritage, his artwork is inspired by Korean calligraphy, graffiti, and modern design. He has been commissioned for murals by Google, LinkedIn, the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, and more. His paintings are in the permanent collections of Mercedes Benz Financial Services, Huntington Bank, Shinola Hotel, Daxton Hotel, as well as many private collections. Mike’s artistic practice is focused on the truth that we are all connected.

Humble Design partners with local area homeless and abuse shelters, including Grace Center of Hope, Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, The Empowerment Plan, Habitat for Humanity, Community Housing Network and many others. Clients are referred for services via a social worker, and families fill out a questionnaire so designers can hit the ground running when it comes to furnishing their home. The interior of Arnold’s suit jacket garnered equal attention on the red carpet.

Hosted by the Humble Design Detroit Advisory Board, we'll have a fun and meaningful day at Great Oaks Country Club in Rochester, in support of Humble Design's mission of furnishing homes for families and veterans emerging from homelessness. The metro Detroit non-profit Humble Design is on a mission to turn houses into homes for families and veterans experiencing homelessness by using donated goods and furniture to personalize their new homes.

” I cringe at all the assumptions people make about poverty in this country. A vast population in America is just one paycheck or one emergency away from calamity. We have partnered with DTE to build out an expansion manual and standardize a very well oiled system.

DETROIT, Aug. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The non-profit organization Humble Design continues to make a difference by disrupting the cycle of homelessness and improving the odds – and lives – of one at-risk family at a time. Our home makeovers provide a foundation that generates an immediate focus on self-empowerment and long-term stability. I was born in Columbus, Ohio, and raised in San Diego. I grew up in a household where it was extremely important to get a good education and to choose a field where you could succeed in life.
