Southwest Detroit is seeing an incredible transformation as part of the city’s Strategic Neighborhood Fund Initiative. When affordable housing meets safe, quality parks, it’s an all-around community win. https://t.co/OLt5n04iiO — PolitiTweet.org

We are all deeply grateful to Project EverGreen, the Rocket Community Fund and other partners for making this day possible. Thanks to them, Tony McDuffy Park is a place that will be enjoyed by Detroit children and families for generations to come and Tony's legacy will live on. — PolitiTweet.org

McDuffy Park now features a new walkway, playground, picnic tables, grills, bike racks and more - doubling the size of the park to 1.5 acres. New trees will provide needed shade in the heat of summer, and a new open grass area provides plenty of space for kids to play. — PolitiTweet.org

This project is a perfect example of what Antonio stood for, which was the community coming together to create something special that will benefit this neighborhood for generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org

When the new training facility opens early next year, we may see several of these talented young people as carpentry apprentices. — PolitiTweet.org

These high school students are learning valuable life skills that could put them on a path to a well-paying career in a field that is in high demand because of all the construction and renovation taking place in our city. — PolitiTweet.org

When the MRCCM committed to building its new $30 million regional training center near I-96 and Tuxedo, they also committed to supporting the surrounding neighborhood and providing additional training opportunities for our young people. — PolitiTweet.org

The Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights has been a tremendous partner for opportunity in our city. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, I met with 33 high school students who are training with the MRCCM at a summer camp, where they will be helping to make improvements to 28 homes in the neighborhood, the first two being wheelchair ramps at homes owned by residents with disabilities. https://t.co/ushHuQtfl1 — PolitiTweet.org

To have this level of support from MSHDA is proof that our housing strategy - led by Donald Rencher and Julie Schneider and their team - is working. I want to thank our partners at MSHDA and the US HUD for tremendous show of confidence in our plan to preserve affordable housing. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Another major project will be led by the Ilitch organization, which will renovate several properties on Henry Street in District Detroit that also will include a significant percentage of affordable housing units. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, I was proud to announce that the city has received a record seven affordable housing projects to be approved for funding by the Michigan State Housing and Development Authority. — PolitiTweet.org

We have made a commitment to longtime Detroiters that as their city redevelops, they will not be pushed out of their homes and we are working to make sure that every Detroiter has access to quality housing, no matter their income. https://t.co/1mA0zYDEbi — PolitiTweet.org

Today, on behalf of the City of Detroit, I would like to send well wishes to our Muslim communities in Detroit celebrating Eid Al-Adha. Assalamu alaikum! https://t.co/V2dx0xKCrT — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

This is the first time in Detroit’s history that the key to our city has been presented to a father and son, and it is richly deserved by both. All Detroiters deeply appreciate their service to our city and congratulate them on this tremendous honor. https://t.co/dXkgww0OYO — PolitiTweet.org

From here in Detroit, Bishop J. Drew Sheard rose from Elder to Pastor to Superintendent to Bishop to Presiding Bishop of the 6 million congregants of the Church of God in Christ. He and his father have left an indelible mark on Detroit and have represented our best to the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

For decades, the Sheards have ministered to Detroiters, offering resources, counsel, hope and healing. If you needed help paying your water bill, if you needed a job, or if you needed any other sort of assistance, Bishop Sheard was there to lend a hand. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Yesterday, I was honored to present the key to our city to not one, but two of our most beloved and cherished citizens – Presiding Bishop J. Drew Sheard and his father, Bishop John H. Sheard, who have served and represented our city in meaningful ways. https://t.co/xV2jL4C4B5 — PolitiTweet.org

In medieval England, when cities had walls to protect them, the key to the city was given only to its most trusted and cherished citizens, who would represent the city outside its borders. — PolitiTweet.org

With a $15 per hour minimum wage and plans to expand its workforce into 2022, we look forward to seeing Flowers for Dreams become an Eastern Market fixture. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

What’s more, Flowers for Dreams donates 25% of its net profit to local charities and nonprofits - a vital priority that truly impacts our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Congratulations to Flowers for Dreams on its new studio location in Eastern Market! These locally-crafted flowers will aid the ongoing beautification of Detroit that we’re seeing every day. https://t.co/gFr1e76wdo — PolitiTweet.org

Keep receipts, photos of damage and other supporting documents. FEMA provides reimbursement, not cleaning services, and therefore don’t wait any longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Meanwhile, anyone with flood damage should get debris out of their basement and to the curb for DPW bulk pick up. You should also have your basement cleaned and sanitized. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Residents and businesses with flood damage should immediately apply for FEMA reimbursement. Even if you completed the DWSD claim form online or by mail, you still need to apply to FEMA and you can start the process at https://t.co/RXX71Ft6EL or by call 800-621-FEMA (3362). — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The City will support FEMA setting up operations in Detroit immediately. The effort will be led by COO Hakim Berry, Deputy Chief of Staff Elisa Malile and Detroit Water & Sewerage Department (DWSD) Director Gary Brown. — PolitiTweet.org
