Mayor Mike Duggan and City Councilmembers Mary Waters, Angela Calloway and Latisha Johnson unveiled a $203-million affordable housing plan that will take major steps toward addressing housing insecurity in Detroit using several new strategies, many of them funded by the city’s share of American Rescue Plan Act funds.

The plan was hammered out over several weeks in meetings between Mayor Duggan, Councilmembers Waters, Calloway, Johnson, and Detroit housing staff. It was a unique collaboration between the mayor and councilmembers to include seven new major initiatives, representing one of the most comprehensive commitments to increasing the quality and accessibility of affordable housing ever undertaken by the City. The plan includes converting long-vacant apartment buildings and Land Bank homes into affordable rental housing, additional housing support resources, mortgage down-payment assistance to increase home ownership, rapid placement for good-paying jobs and more.
