A new multi-family affordable housing development broke ground this week in #Detroit.
“The Claire” is a $9.17-million project that will bring another 42 new affordable housing units to Detroit. The project is expected to be completed next year.
“This is the way the city is coming back,” Mayor Mike Duggan said. “We’re going to make sure people of all incomes can afford to live here.”
Vacant for almost 25 years, the Claire, a 1920s vintage apartment building formerly called The Clairwood, will undergo extensive rehabilitation to offer studio, one-, two–, and three-bedroom apartment units.
Of the 42 units, a total of 27 will have rents set between 50 to 80 percent of area median income (AMI). Under the agreement, affordability of the apartments is guaranteed for the next 11 years.
