Job Description Summary Homeownership is considered the American Dream and is the biggest contributor to personal wealth creation. However, neighborhoods across Detroit continue to struggle with disrepair. Forty-three percent of Detroiters report having at least one major home repair need, and 13% live in inadequate housing, a category which includes exposed wires or electrical problems, broken furnace or heating problems, or lack of hot or running water. People living in unsafe, unhealthy homes are at greater risk of developing health conditions like asthma, suffering injuries from trips and falls, and struggling to pay utilities bills. These conditions erode the health of Detroit families, increase displacement risk, diminish wealth building, and destabilize neighborhoods. In response to this great need, Enterprise worked with partners to establish the Detroit Home Repair Fund (DHRF) and address the critical health and safety home repair needs of Detroit homeowners with lower incomes. The program is managed by Enterprise, supported with technical assistance from the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative, and implemented in collaboration with 14 nonprofit partners working in specific neighborhoods and across the city. To date, DHRF has completed repairs in over 725 homes, reaching nearly 1,400 Detroiters. Enterprise seeks to continue the success of DHRF and bring complementary resources to the community through the launch of a new initiative: the Detroit Energy-Efficiency & Home Improvement Program (DEEHIP). Funded by HUD via Community Project Funding secured by Representative Tlaib, DEEHIP will focus on providing low-income Detroit homeowners with energy-efficiency and weatherization improvements.
