Welcome to the Rosedale Block Captains’ Toolkit, a collection of resources, forms, flyers, and City of Detroit Department of Neighborhoods informational booklets. We make these documents available to the volunteers who serve as Rosedale block captains, as well as all residents of our community and other interested Detroiters.
Some material will be of interest or use to block captains only; other material is helpful to all residents. Feel free to browse and download/print as you choose.
If you have additional questions, please contact one of our Block Captain Coordinators:
