PILOT Fast Track to speed next $1 billion in affordable housing
Mayor Mike Duggan and several members of City Council rolled out a dramatic change in the way new affordable housing projects are approved, with the goal of making Detroit the easiest community in Michigan to build affordable housing.
"We have built or preserved $1 billion in affordable housing units in the last 5 years, but the way our population is growing and rents are rising, we have to build another $1 billion to keep long-time Detroiters from priced out of the city," Mayor Duggan said. The Fast Track PILOT ordinance will allow us to do that."
The Fast Track PILOT Ordinance is sponsored by 4 key councilmembers:
- Councilman Fred Durhal who has taken the lead in developing the Fast Track process
- Council President Mary Sheffield, who has led on the issue since her sponsorship of the trust fund
- Councilmember Mary Waters, who championed the creation of the Housing Services Division
- Councilmember Coleman Young, whose sponsorship of JumpStart cut evictions in Detroit
