Detroit Affordable Housing Preservation Initiative

Detroit, Michigan

The Detroit Affordable Housing Preservation Initiative is a city-led program focused on preserving and expanding affordable multifamily housing across Detroit. The initiative aims to maintain affordability for 10,000 existing units and construct 2,000 new affordable units, targeting residents at or below 50% of Area Median Income. Key features include leveraging public and private capital, rehabilitating vacant buildings, and providing supportive housing for vulnerable populations. As of late 2025, the initiative is actively acquiring, rehabilitating, and leasing properties, with construction underway and phased completions expected through 2026.
