Successful Launch of Tier 3: A New Path to Homeownership
We are proud to announce a major milestone in the Shirley Denise Affordable Housing Project with the successful launch of Tier 3: Homeownership through Land Contract. Today, we celebrate the first family to achieve their dream of homeownership, overcoming traditional barriers through our innovative land contract program.
This is more than just a home – it’s a new beginning. By providing flexible terms and overcoming common obstacles to homeownership, we’re helping families in Metro Detroit secure stable, long-term housing and build equity for a brighter future.
