Delivering $17,156,185 for Community Projects

Dear Neighbor,

I am thrilled to share that we delivered over $17.1 million in federal funding for 15 community projects in our district. This funding will improve the lives of our residents by providing home repairs, affordable housing, lead abatement, flood recovery resources, workforce development, neighborhood revitalization, and climate resilience to protect our public health.

$1,000,000 for After the Storm Flood Recovery
Many families struggle to find resources for basement flood clean ups and other critical needs after a weather disaster. This is why we were proud to secure $1 million for After the Storm for the Metro Detroit Flood Recovery Project. This funding will be used for housing rehabilitation, repairs, and recovery support for low-income and vulnerable households impacted by flooding. Helping our hardest-hit neighbors recover and rebuild their homes is an essential step towards restoring our most vulnerable neighborhoods.
