Foreclosed homes to be sold back for $1,000 in ACLU, city settlement
“Earlier this week, the ACLU of Michigan and the City of Detroit reached a settlement after a two-year lawsuit over how the city administers property tax breaks for the poor, often leading to foreclosures. In the agreement, these homeowners will be able to stay in their homes and avoid foreclosure for $1,000. The ACLU says the settlement will also make the process ‘less burdensome’ for those applying for the program.”
