🏠 Every family deserves a safe place to call home.

The City of Detroit is investing $9.2 million over the next three years to help families experiencing housing instability move from emergency shelter into stable housing.

The Homeless to Housed initiative prioritizes families with minor children by providing 6–12 months of rental assistance and personalized case management to help them build long-term stability.

This investment increases annual funding for these programs by more than 500% and will help approximately 140 households—more than 500 Detroiters—each year.

Today, Mayor Sheffield signed an Executive Order strengthening how the City of Detroit responds when temperatures become dangerous.

Every City department now has a clear role in protecting residents and our workforce, from expanding access to cooling centers and protecting outdoor employees to pausing water shutoffs during extreme heat and coordinating support for seniors and residents experiencing homelessness.

As the heat continues, please do your part:
-Stay hydrated.
-Limit time outdoors during the hottest part of the day.
-Check on older adults, neighbors, and anyone who may need extra support.

Visit DetroitMI.gov for cooling center locations and additional heat safety resources.
