Jointly authored by Detroit Future City and Enterprise Community Partners as a deliverable of the Detroit Neighborhood Housing Compact, “Rebuilding Home” provides an intimate overview of the approaches and challenges associated with single-family redevelopment across Detroit’s community development sector.
