A 50-unit affordable housing development on the east side of Detroit is now open for homeless veterans and residents with disabilities to apply.
City officials and development partners gathered on Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the Benjamin O. Davis Veterans Village for the grand opening of the $16 million project named after Brigadier General Benjamin O. Davis Sr., the U.S. Army’s first Black general. The housing, located at 20129 Conner St., is set aside for homeless veterans and people with disabilities, and rent can be a maximum of 30% of a tenants monthly income.
“It addresses so many critical needs in our community − expanding affordable housing, which we all know is the dire need; advancing homelessness solutions; ensuring accessibility for residents with disabilities, and also providing dedicated support for our veterans,” said Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield.
