Housing: Affordable Homes for All
The Homes for Detroit Act, rooted in NDC's public-private partnerships and Blue Dogs' targeted spending, offers $10,000 tax breaks for first-time buyers in Inkster, invests $75 million to clear blight and build affordable units, and funds homelessness services.
I've seen boarded-up homes in Highland Park — 33% of Latino Detroiters say fixing this is urgent (University of Michigan, 2024). The Homes for Detroit Act, rooted in NDC's public-private partnerships and Blue Dogs' targeted spending, offers $10,000 tax breaks for first-time buyers in Inkster, invests $75 million to clear blight and build affordable units, and funds homelessness services. Progressives' rent control scares off developers, but I'm working with businesses to rebuild smart. A Wyandotte family moves into their own home, and a vacant lot in Ecorse becomes a community hub, lifting our neighborhoods.
