The Department of Community Use welcomes Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) community members to use school buildings and grounds for educational, recreational, civic, and cultural activities.

- DPSCD instructional programs
- Student activities
- School-related group events
- Adult Education classes
Important: All facility use outside of school hours must be approved through a Community Use Permit issued by the Department of Community Use. A building custodian must be present during any non-instructional activity.
