Development Centers (DC) is a non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of individuals, families, and the community by meeting behavioral, health, human and vocational needs through a continuum of prevention, intervention, treatment and training services.

Development Centers (formerly DCI) was incorporated in 1983 as the result of a merger between two long-standing agencies, Children's Orthogenic Center and Phoenix Place.

At the time of the change in name, DC had a staff of 24 and served 700 consumers annually through its 4 programs. Over the next 20+ years as the number of individuals and families requesting services increased and as the needs of the community changed, DC responded. Today, DC has a staff of over 300 and provide services to 10,000+ consumers and participants annually at the 20 service locations in Northwest Detroit and Western Wayne County.
