Detroit News: “What a blessing”: Detroit seniors, disabled residents benefit from roof repair program
Heloyse Moore has lived in the same Detroit home since 1962. When her roof began leaking in December, she feared she wouldn't be able to stay. Moore, nearly 93 years old, is among the first of 2,000 residents to have a new roof installed by the city's Renew Detroit program. It was initially expected to aid 1,500 residents, but an additional $15 million in funds granted by the state of Michigan in July 2022 expanded the program's capacity to 2,000 homes. Democratic state Reps. Helena Scott, Shri Thanedar, Karen Whitsett, Tenisha Yancey and Stephanie Young helped earmark the additional funds to be repaired in two phases.
