Given the sustained advocacy and large body of research on environmental justice in southwest Detroit, The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) sought out an Environmental Justice grant from the US EPA to address disparate impacts and environmental burden in the state. The proposal for this grant included the creation of a 48217/southwest Detroit module from the state’s in-development Environmental Justice Screening Tool, MiEJScreen. This Detroit module, housed within the larger grant to generate a community resiliency plan for the southwest Detroit area, was then developed into a master’s project for SEAS students. Our research addresses indicators of environmental justice and the relevance of community resilience to the lived experience and advocacy of community members in the Metro-Detroit area. In this study, we combine existing data to visualize these indicators in Metro Detroit through an EJ Screening Tool and recommendations for a community resilience plan. Using a mixed-methods approach, we utilize semi-structured interviews and survey analysis to collect data that a) informs the indicators, methods, and communication materials for the southwest Detroit EJ Screening Tool and b) guides recommendations made to EGLE on the creation of a community resilience plan for southwest Detroit.
