Detroit is growing, the city built 1 billion dollars in affordable housing in the last 6 years. We dont stop!

That's why the Pilot Ordinance Program makes it easier than ever to build affordable housing. In addition, there's 47 projects and 450 million already approved.

Three years ago, I was so proud to present Betty Brooks - one of the grande dames of Detroit's cultural community - with the first ACE Awards medal for her lifetime of contributions. I was deeply saddened to learn of her passing.

Two of those homes are now fully completed and listed for sale, with two more expected to be finished next year, bringing new families and new life to this historic block across from the Dr. Ossian Sweet Memorial Park.

A century after Dr. Ossian Sweet and his family stood up against discrimination in 1925, Detroit is continuing that legacy on Garland Street.

Detroit's momentum keeps building. Our city's credit rating continues to climb, thanks to strong financial management, steady development, and rising residential property values. Even through uncertain times, even the pandemic, Detroit maintained solid reserves and stayed on track.

Twelve years ago, Motor City Match set out to help Detroiters open the doors to their dreams including restaurants, gyms, hair salons, hardware stores and more.

Detroit is building a city where everyone belongs!

With over $1.6 billion invested in affordable housing over the past six years, residents now have access to quality apartments, so families can stay in the neighborhoods they love. Affordable housing is a priority in Detroit.

Detroit families are keeping their homes and building a stronger future together.

Through the Detroit Land Bank's Buy Back Program, residents who’ve had a documented connection to their homes, whether as a previous owner, renter, or family member, are getting their titles restored.

When I took office, less than 30% of homicides were being cleared, and non-fatal shootings were solved at just 15%.

What was once filled with debris and blight is now a pathway of connection and renewal.

The Joe Louis Greenway has 6 miles open, 6 miles under construction, and will soon become almost 30-mile loop linking neighborhoods across Detroit.

What used to be a desolate, flooded school is now a renewed anchor in the neighborhood. The historic Higginbotham School will be transformed into affordable housing and new apartments, and the team made sure the community was at the center of every decision.
