DETROIT -- Detroit's homeless and low-income residents have another opportunity for a chance at millions of stimulus dollars.


The money is available to help low-income residents from becoming homeless and homeless residents to find housing.

Personally I am convinced that this stimulus money will make it into the community and create jobs and provide housing :rotfl2: /sarcasim off

To qualify, a person must have been a resident of Detroit for more than six months, must be homeless or facing eviction and must be able to maintain housing after receiving assistance.

Also, a resident must make 50 percent less than the median area income, which would be less than $24,850 for single Detroit residents and less than $35,500 for a family of four.

No mortgage assistance will be available through this program.

Once applications are reviewed, only applicants eligible for funding assistance will receive notification from a service provider.


Those are some stiff rules to qualify. This program is odd and the reason I say that is those looking to get this assitance must prove that they can maintain housing after receiving assistance. One must have job to maintain a home. Detroit was seriously hit when the auto industry faultered and continues to lanquish in the void. There is not mortgage assistance with this program.

To qualify, a person must have been a resident of Detroit for more than six months, must be homeless... If you are homeless, how can you provide proof of residency in Detroit? Let alone proof for six months.:doh:

There were some cities were the homeless consider the bench they sleep on as their home and got approval for help. I do not recall the city but I do remember reading about it.

Some people are in some very desperate times. Not all here are on the take. Yesterdays article said this was not a mortgage program yet this article mentions those in foreclosure. Strange.
