Affordable Housing is NOT Affordable in Detroit

6/7/2022

 
Picture
By Linda Little & Adam Hollier
​Detroit is on the brink of a housing crisis. The signs are there: record inflation rates; skyrocketing housing prices that outpace home valuations—making it difficult to secure mortgages; exponential increases in rental rates coupled with the end to eviction moratoriums.  According to the US Census Bureau (
www.census.gov), Detroit’s median household income of $32,498 is a little over half of the state median income of $59,234 making housing unaffordable for not just the 39% of people living in poverty, but a growing working population unable to find adequate housing.  Too many Michiganders are working full time jobs and can’t afford to buy or rent a home.  An increasing number of individuals and families are slipping into homelessness…and the safety net is not able to help them.

Opinion: Health equity in Michigan: Making progress, but still miles to go

4/19/2022

 
The last two years have seen enormous challenges for Michiganders. However, the health crisis facing underserved members of our community reached a critical point well before the pandemic. Black Michiganders are more likely to have hypertension or diabetes than whites, and have a lower overall life expectancy. These disparities were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, where, similar to other states, people of color have been more likely to be infected by or die from COVID-19.    ​

During the peak of the pandemic, the medical needs of our shelter clients became very apparent. After relocating the Tumaini Center to a larger space to allow us to adhere to CDC safety protocols, we decided to shift our model of service delivery to meet the needs of our clients. The birth of the Detroit Healthy Housing Center was the start of a new era at NSO, where we have fully embraced the complexity of the unique population that we are honored to serve.

From Homeless to Housing

3/1/2022

 
Picture
In July of 2021, a young couple in their early 20’s arrived at the shelter after moving from out of state to stay with a relative who took their rent money and then evicted them after only few days. The couple was devastated, which was compounded by the fact that the young woman was pregnant. Because she had moved to Michigan from another state, she did not have Michigan Medicaid and was not receiving any prenatal care.
