Moreover, PVM’s 70 years of successful mission-driven property management programs and activities, combined with its knowledge of federal rules and regulations that govern properties like ours, make PVM an excellent selection for us and for the 100-plus residents who call Delta Manor home.”
George Millush, Chair of the PVM Board of Directors, commented: “We are pleased to work with the Delta Manor, Inc., Board of Directors to continue its fine tradition of providing quality living for seniors.

Delta Manor is a seven-story high rise located on 2.5 acres at 2150 E. Vernor, south of Gratiot Avenue near Detroit’s Eastern Market. It is owned by Delta Manor, Inc., a Michigan non-profit housing corporation. The mission of Delta Manor is to create an appealing and safe environment that enhances the quality of life for residents. Delta Manor was one of the first development projects of its kind in the United States to be initiated by a Greek-letter organization. The project was conceived of and brought to life by the Property Task Force of the Detroit Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Delta Manor opened in late 1988 at a cost of approximately five million dollars.
PVM is a Michigan non-profit organization that was founded in 1945. It currently serves over 4,500 seniors of all financial means across the state in 27 communities. Its mission is to serve seniors of all faiths and create new possibilities for quality living and its vision is to transform senior living and services and enhance the communities it serves. Through this management agreement, Delta Manor will represent PVM’s ninth community being served in the city of Detroit.
