Mayor Mary Sheffield is expanding Detroit’s investment in affordable housing.

A new Executive Order will direct 100% of proceeds from city-owned commercial property sales into the Affordable Housing Development and Preservation Trust Fund, more than doubling annual contributions to about $4 million.

Led by the City’s Housing and Revitalization Department (HRD), the fund supports new housing, preserves existing units, and helps keep rents affordable for Detroiters who need it most.

That means expanding access to safe, stable, affordable housing across our neighborhoods.

The order takes effect July 1, 2026.

Mayor Mary Sheffield has signed an executive order to expand mid-block lighting across Detroit, with a plan to install 3,000 new lights on residential streets.

Working alongside the Public Lighting Authority (PLA), Mayor Sheffield is advancing a plan to prioritize mid-block areas across Detroit neighborhoods, in many cases doubling visibility between existing corner lights.

Through the “Brighten Up the Block” initiative, residents will have the opportunity to share where lighting is needed most through community meetings in every council district.

Backed by a $10 million investment, this effort is driven by resident feedback and focused on improving safety, visibility, and quality of life across Detroit neighborhoods, with installation set to begin this summer.
