Detroit’s Make It Home Program: Transforming Renters into Homeowners

Detroit’s Make It Home Program: Transforming Renters into Homeowners

The Michigan Chronicle

November 22, 2024

"The road to homeownership for many Detroit families has often been riddled with barriers, especially for those navigating the impact of systemic inequities. However, the Make It Home program, a collaboration between the Rocket Community Fund, the United Community Housing Coalition (UCHC), and the City of Detroit, has created a pathway to stability and generational wealth for residents at risk of displacement. Since its inception in 2017, this program has helped more than 1,600 families transition from uncertain renters to secure homeowners, with nearly 100 families joining that list this year."
