Putting Detroit homes back in the hands of Detroiters. For too long, out-of-town speculators have bought up homes for cheap, ignored taxes, and mistreated tenants. Those days are coming to an end.

Ten years ago, homes in the Marygrove and Fitzgerald neighborhoods were abandoned and selling for under $10,000. But together with residents, we reimagined what was possible.

Detroit thank you! We came together today and we now have over 1300 volunteers that have signed up across 85 sites ready to go to distribute food for those impacted by SNAP interruptions.

Detroit's financial future is strong. Built on years of smart planning and fiscal responsibility. Income and property tax revenues have doubled in five years, strengthening every neighborhood's foundation for the long term. Detroit is built to endure and poised to continue progress.

Detroiters are changing their futures through the Occupied Buy Back Program. 88 participants graduated in 2024. More than 1,300 families have received their deeds since 2016.

Kresge didn't just invest in Detroit, they stayed. By choosing Marygrove over a downtown tower, they showed what real belief in Detroiters looks like: building with the people who never left.

Detroit's blight removal mission is almost complete. 47,000+ vacant houses down to fewer than 1,000 left. 50,000 lots now ready for Detroiters to build, grow, and create what's next. Learn more: detroitmi.gov/engagedetroit #DetroitStrong #NeighborhoodRevitalization
