Turning Point

What Turning Point does

Turning Point is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization headquartered in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, founded in 1980, and serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking across Macomb County. It is the only comprehensive agency in the county responding across these three victimization categories, operating a single integrated service model anchored by a 24-hour crisis hotline (586-463-6990) that funnels survivors into emergency shelter, human trafficking–specific housing, forensic nurse examinations with first-response advocacy, supportive counseling, and personal protection order / legal advocacy. The organization also runs community education, a Survivor Council / Speaker's Bureau, and systems-change advocacy initiatives.

The organization has 51–100 employees and operates two physical locations: its Mt. Clemens headquarters and the Second Hand Rose resale shop in Clinton Township, which functions as a social enterprise — generating revenue from donated goods while providing more than $75,000 of items annually to survivors at no charge. Revenue is diversified across individual and corporate donations, government and foundation grants (including DTE Energy Foundation), signature fundraising events (Survivors Golf Outing, Stepping Out with the Stars gala, Tara's 5K Run & Walk), and resale shop proceeds. All survivor-facing services are free and confidential.

There is no proprietary technology platform; the "products" are direct human-delivered service programs supported by a multi-channel community engagement footprint spanning Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, email newsletters, and a PR partnership with EAFocus Communications. Recognition includes the 2023 Crain's Detroit Business Best-Managed Nonprofits award and the 2026 Richard F. Huegli Award for Program Excellence from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan — the first Macomb County–based nonprofit to receive the latter since its 2013 introduction.
