Description

Matrix Human Services has been a leader in the community since 1906. what sets us apart is our Transition to Success (TTS) Model designed to move individuals and families out of poverty. We are headquartered in Detroit. Eighty eight cents of every dollar donated to matrix is specifically used for programs that are changing lives. The remaining twelve cents is utilized for administration.

Matrix is positioned to lead dynamic change across the country with our Transition to Success (TTS) Model. This poverty model, implemented across all Matrix Programs, coordinates care for basic needs, learning to read, getting an education (including GED and higher education), financial literacy and volunteerism. It has been our vision to have a national model of care that frames poverty as a condition that requires treatment and not a character flaw. That dream is today becoming a reality. We are changing the mindset of community leaders and those we serve by providing a realistic pathway to improved health and economic self-sufficiency.
