The new building is not only more spacious, but also has its own parking lot and is all on one level, Catholic Charities officials said. In addition to the Malta Clinic, the building also houses the Wayne County Prison Outreach ministry; the Hope Bakery, which trains and employs formerly incarcerated individuals; a clothing closet and a food pantry.

Isabella Agby, Catholic Charities’ director of marketing and communications, told Detroit Catholic in May that the center’s proximity to the cathedral allows the ministry “to be a hub of Catholic service.”
