The Task Force grew out of a community leadership forum convened in 1987 by sixteen community agencies, including The Community House, the Birmingham Public Schools and Bloomfield Hills Schools. The Community House continues to sponsor the Task Force. Together with The Community House, the Task Force is the beneficiary of a Kellogg Foundation grant that enables the funding of Task Force activities through the Task Force’s New Vision Fund.
