The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the City of Detroit Finance Division a $500,000 Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grant on September 7, 2024. The funds will be used to develop a comprehensive Neighborhood Transformation Plan for the redevelopment of a HUD-assisted housing project and the surrounding low-income community in Detroit, Michigan.
Key activities to be performed under this Project Grant include conducting extensive outreach and engagement with HUD-assisted residents, the broader community, and other stakeholders to gather feedback that will shape the Transformation Plan. The grantee will also complete a household-level needs assessment, analyze neighborhood challenges and opportunities, develop a relocation strategy, select a housing developer, and assess any environmental and historic preservation impacts. The resulting Transformation Plan will serve as the guiding document for future neighborhood investment strategies focused on revitalizing the target area, redeveloping the HUD-assisted housing, and improving outcomes for residents.
