Choice Neighborhoods Initiative 

CKG1

The City of Detroit was awarded a $30 million Choice Neighborhoods Implementation (CNI) grant in May 2021. The City was also awarded a $5 million Choice Neighborhoods Supplemental Grant in April 2023. Choice Neighborhoods is a grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), established in 2010 by the Obama administration.

The Choice Neighborhoods grant will preserve housing affordability and construct new affordable housing throughout Historic and North Corktown. The grant will focus on the redevelopment of Clement Kern Gardens, a publicly assisted property on Bagley Street between Trumbull Avenue and Rosa Parks Boulevard. With the redevelopment, Clement Kern Gardens will provide new affordable, rent-assisted units for its current residents, as well as an additional number of rental units that will be offered at varying rent levels. 

The program supports cities to implement neighborhood Transformation Plans that address 3 key areas:

Housing: Mixed income, accessible, sustainable housing options

Neighborhood: Critical improvements based on community needs 

People: Supportive services targeted to low-income residents around health. education and economic self-sufficiency
