The news comes from a study by the University of Michigan Poverty Solutions that analyzes changes in Detroit's housing values.

It is estimated that the net housing value of Black homeowners grew from $3.4 billion in 2014 to $6.2 billion in 2022 - that's an 80 percent increase following the City's bankruptcy. Research also found that growth was dispersed in neighborhoods throughout the city and not concentrated in the downtown and Midtown areas.

This illustrates how far Detroit's housing market has come since 2014.

It's Detroit, of course we've invested 1B into affordable housing!

Social Media Specialist Chris M from City of Detroit · 4 days ago

Since 2019, 71 multi-family housing projects have brought 4,648 units to Detroit. Of those, 1,612 are new constructions, while 3,036 existing affordable housing units were preserved through renovation, with the affordable rates locked in for residents for at least 30 years.

Among the nearly 5,000 units that make up the 1B investment, 895 have rents affordable to households earning 30% or less of AMI and 1,381 units for those earning 50% or less of AMI.

The celebration brought 200 developers and funding partners to the site of another affordable housing development on East Jefferson, right off the Detroit River. Led by Detroit developer Amin Irving, construction starts in two weeks and will provide 150 affordable housing units.

The projects, totaling $1,009,177,000, were made possible by City, State, Federal, private funders, and developers.

At the announcement, Mayor Mike Duggan thanked all the partners and gave a special shout-out to the Detroit City Council, who helped roll out a $203 million affordable housing plan in 2022.

"This is what's happened when you have a Mayor and a City Council who have, for ten years, been lock-step on this issue... this is the way we're going to deliver results."

Resiliency and diversity.

Uniqueness. Economically thriving matched with affordability.

If you’d have suggested 10 years ago these qualities should make Detroit one of the top 50 best places to live in the country, well - let’s be real. It would have been a joke😅

But not anymore. A brand new report from Money.com reflects a growing worldwide awareness. Detroit IS one of the best places to live.

Social Media Specialist Chris M from City of Detroit · 8 Apr

Since 2014, when the City was in bankruptcy and struggling to provide basic services to residents, Detroit has seen a remarkable recovery. Property values continue to rise while crime and unemployment steadily decline. Blight removal and beautification efforts have resulted in renovated parks, streetscapes, and the restoration of vacant historic buildings.

Watch the 2024 address as the Mayor discusses ongoing fiscal and neighborhood revitalization.

Don't miss it - April 17 at 7:00pm with several ways to tune in:

Remember - don’t stare at the sun! It can damage your eyes permanently, even if you don’t feel it at the time!

Wear protective glasses if available - or look away! And you can always watch indoors on a tv or smartphone!

Detroiter Trae Isaac has been creating awe-inspiring art for 15 years and has participated in multiple projects for City Walls, a beautification initiative painting murals across the city.

🎨 🖌

After being selected for the City of Detroit and City Walls' DCLEATED project, where local artists painted oversized cleats to support Detroit-based causes, Isaac's piece attracted immediate attention. His cleat, which benefitted the Children's Center, will now be permanently displayed at Children's Hospital of Michigan - right in Detroit!

The remaining 19 cleats go up for auction starting today, April 5, (online)! Bidding starts at $2,500 per cleat, with the option to purchase for $10,000. Bidders can also donate online.

In celebration of the 2024 NFL Draft, during the month of April, these fantastic works of art can be seen throughout the heart of downtown. The DCLEATED auction by Visit Detroit and the Detroit Sports Commission closes on Friday, May 3, at 11:30pm.
