We’ve got more housing being built in the city than any time in the last 50 years. When housing gets built and people move in, banks want to be a part of it. Today, Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis celebrated its the opening of its Detroit Hub. https://t.co/r5vjPWdIfi — PolitiTweet.org

Sec. Powell always had the deep and abiding respect of people on both sides of the aisle, which is rare in Washington, DC these days. His loss is a loss for our entire nation. — PolitiTweet.org

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Secretary of State Colin Powell. He served our country with dignity and honor in his military career and as our first Black Secretary of State. https://t.co/83XysdXI1X — PolitiTweet.org

Getting a HOPE exemption also is the first step to qualifying for the $30 million Renew Detroit home repair program. We have several upcoming drive-through events to help you navigate and complete the HOPE process to get you started! — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Keeping longtime Detroiters in their homes is something we focus on every day and the HOPE program is helping more than 12,000 Detroit homeowners by providing property tax exemptions of 25%, 50% and 100%, depending on the household income. https://t.co/ae6HIV2DpB — PolitiTweet.org

For this mural, Waleed decided to honor the unsung African American women who in so many ways are the Spirit of Detroit. The next time you drive by Mack and Van Dyke, take a moment to enjoy this great piece of work by an inspired young Detroit artist. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

This stunning mural by artist Waleed Johnson, entitled "The Spirit," is the 100th mural to be commissioned as part of our City Walls program, which has beautified walls and viaducts across our city. It is visually stunning and emotionally powerful to see in person. https://t.co/wOBVT47THc — PolitiTweet.org

Chief White and Dr. Ivery have developed a system that combines professionalism and academics into opportunity for Detroit's youth. The new dual-enrollment program with @WCCCDistrict will give high school students the option of a promising college career in law enforcement. https://t.co/yhZKhELn9W — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to MHT Housing, Inc., nearly 200 senior citizens can live comfortably in their upgraded homes, without any fear of a rent increase. The deal we struck with MHT will keep rents affordable to seniors at this building for the next 45 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The people who have been living in Detroit for years are the people who deserve quality homes at an affordable price. This is why all residents living in Parkview Place have gotten a makeover to their units with a $19.7 million renovation, including new appliances and more. https://t.co/QISBVqp05V — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I’d like to thank all of our partners who have stepped up in a time of need and assisted in the transfer of over 1,000 dogs so far this year. With their help, DACC was able to maintain their No Kill Shelter status and focus their attention on adoptions. https://t.co/lvmiM72R82 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

As we wait for the development of the new shelter, improvements continue to be made with DACC’s everyday operations. They have already hired more officers and investigators to increase response times and proactively ensure the safety of our residents. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Detroit Animal Care & Control's facility is unable to accommodate the level of care we strive to achieve for these animals. By doubling the current capacity, the DACC's new $5 million building will provide a more permanent solution to the recurring issues they've faced. https://t.co/mTuwuMUbYT — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Ten years ago, there was no foot traffic in the area to support a small bakery like Give Thanks. Thanks to Sue Mosey's efforts in Midtown and David Da Rita's redevelopment of this building, small businesses can flourish and provide opportunity to Detroiters. https://t.co/kkzWL8wxpf — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I'd like to welcome owners Katy and Dietrich Knoer to the neighborhood and congratulate them on their beautiful new bakery. https://t.co/x77Hy2BotD — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

New businesses have been flocking to the redeveloped Livernois streetscape to create a thriving commercial corridor. This is the kind of transformation that can take place when city planners work with residents to create a vision for their neighborhoods. https://t.co/Vx8UBKFDWS — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The Albert Kahn building in New Center was once home to bustling office spaces which have become vacant over the last decade. Today, it is a beautifully renovated apartment complex where Detroiters of all income levels have the opportunity to call home. https://t.co/hr8a8cJXdU — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The Dr. Ossian Sweet home is an important Detroit landmark that represents a critical time in Detroit’s journey to end housing discrimination. This project is a great opportunity for local contractors to work with historians and become a part of history. https://t.co/blBZTZPJiw — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

We have been working to lower housing costs in Detroit for years, by renewing subsidized units and adding more with each new development. President Biden's Build Back Better plan will help us build on this work by providing more resources to support Detroit's long-time residents. https://t.co/VJf7NLRgBG — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Lear and NorthPoint have promised to put Detroiters first, both during the development of the new $48 million building, and after its completion. We can break the cycle of intergenerational poverty by bringing good-paying jobs to Detroit and this new facility will do just that. https://t.co/jCTGOCxDYo — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The new Meijer Rivertown Market is going to be my new grocery store when it opens next week. I was so pleased to see plenty of Detroit-based brands. It is my hope that Meijer continues to expand in Detroit by bringing this type of neighborhood market to other areas of the city. https://t.co/hbaNqOoIKu — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

As part of the Strategic Neighborhood Fund, the complete overhaul of the $7 million McNichols streetscape will create new opportunities for businesses, housing and educational facilities. This is what neighborhood development looks like. https://t.co/LqfvMRAhCP — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I want to thank @cavsdan and Rocket Community Fund for their contributions to this program. @rockconnections is taking phone applications and helping Detroiters apply for poverty exemption. @Gilbertfamilyfd has paid off back property taxes for more than 1,600 Detroit homeowners. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

If you don’t have an approved HOPE poverty exemption, you can still apply for it at https://t.co/k1YcuhYjgm or call 313-388-9799 to schedule an appointment. There are also HOPE drive-thru events Tuesdays and Saturdays in October. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

If you’re already on the waitlist for the old CDBG program, you can still apply and keep your place in line. Once you get a ranking under Renew Detroit, you can decide to move forward with your spot on the old waitlist or the new one. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Applications for Phase one will open tomorrow and close October 31st. If you’re eligible, I encourage you to apply for this program so we can get you the assistance you need.

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Eligible homeowners must meet the criteria listed below. Selections will be made based on length of ownership, number of people in the household, level of HOPE tax exemption and whether the applicant is already on a list of repairs through SEHR or Wayne Metro. https://t.co/YqQGTWngxk — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Renew Detroit will have two phases: Phase one will prioritize roof repairs for 1000 homes - most urgently needed due to the long term damage it can cause. Phase two, will provide other major home repairs to another 500 homes. https://t.co/pHdo9dKxyH — PolitiTweet.org
