10,000 people have successfully expunged their records through the City’s Project Clean Slate initiative for free.
The goal of Project Clean Slate is to help Detroiters clear their criminal records to create additional opportunities for employment, education, and housing, according to the city.
“Detroit is a city of second chance, and Project Clean Slate is making sure thousands of Detroiters now have their second chance to participate in their city’s revitalization. They didn’t give up on Detroit and Detroit didn’t give up on them,” the mayor said
Thousands of Detroiters are eligible for criminal record expungement. However, many people do not seek expungement because they do not know they are eligible or do not know how to navigate the process.
