@msmarysheffield: Detroiters have been asking for a Land Bank that works for them, and we’ve been listening. Now, we’re taking action! 🏡 During my time on City Council, I heard firsthand the challenges residents faced trying to purchase homes and invest in their neighborhoods. That’s why I’m proud to announce our five-point Rise Higher Plan to make the Detroit Land Bank Authority more accessible, transparent and responsive to residents. Here’s what’s changing: 🏡 $3 million in grants to help residents complete renovations and achieve homeownership. 🔑 16,000 properties released from city holds, opening more opportunities for Detroiters to purchase land and homes. 🤝 Improved customer service with simpler processes, greater transparency and more direct support. 🌱 Stronger neighborhoods through expanded side lot access and beautification opportunities. ❤️ $6 million for homelessness prevention, supporting 75 temporary housing units with more than 170 beds. This is about more than properties. It’s about removing barriers, building generational wealth and giving Detroiters the opportunity to put down roots in the neighborhoods they love. When our neighborhoods are stronger, Detroit is stronger. And that’s how we Rise Higher!
