Detroiters with disabilities now have access to affordable housing in a new complex.
In the east side Riverbend area of Detroit, a new housing development with fourteen apartments made for people with impairments recently had its ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Affordable housing for low-income disabled Detroiters is available at Xavier Square, 3141 Alter Road.
Residents can avoid spending more than 30% of their income on rent and utilities by using project-based vouchers provided by the Detroit Housing Commission (DHC).
A total of $1 billion in affordable housing has been constructed or preserved in Detroit over the previous five years, and this plan is a component of that endeavor.
Xavier Square’s emphasis on diversity was highlighted by Mayor Mike Duggan, who underscored the square’s significance.
“This is the city we are building, where every Detroiter, regardless of their income or physical abilities can live in quality housing that supports their needs at a rent they can afford,” Duggan said in a statement. “I am so appreciative of Nova Development, our Department of Housing & Revitalization and the Detroit Housing Commission for making this important project a reality.”
There are a total of thirteen flats at Xavier Square, including twelve with two bedrooms and two with one.
For eligible people, Central City Health will offer supportive services such as life skills case management.
Roughly 123,000 people, or 19.6% of the total population, in Detroit are disabled, according to the city’s Civil Rights, Inclusion, and Opportunity Department.
