Detroit Land Bank Authority’s Buy Back program

More than 1,000 Detroiters are now homeowners, thanks to the Detroit Land Bank Authority’s Buy Back program which helps residents secure stable housing. At this event, Detroit Land Bank Authority CEO Tammy Daniels and Mayor Mike Duggan will be presenting deeds to the latest cohort of successful Buy Back participants. 135 people are graduating from the program this summer, after completing a year of homebuyer counseling courses and having saved up enough money to pay their summer tax bill. The Buy Back program provides a pathway to homeownership for precariously housed individuals and families living in houses owned by the land bank.
