Save Detroit Homes - Remove all occupied homes from the tax foreclosure auction this Fall. Use the City's or County's "Right to First Refusal" in combination with the Hardest Hit Funds to save occupied homes.
Amplify (another Devos movement) in conjuction with the City of Grand Rapids and Rockford Construction are having a "rolling out" of this program, which is really more gentrification of poor neighborhoods. This really results in additional displacement of more poor people. Please plan to get there early, sit in front and ask the hard questions/make comments.
