The Detroit Department of Neighborhoods – District 7, the Islamic Center of Detroit Youth Council and Rippling Hope plan to board up four houses on Strathmoor on Detroit’s west side Saturday, Feb. 18.
The board-up is one example of how the Mayor’s Department of Neighborhoods is working with community groups to secure vacant properties and preserve them for possible rehabilitation. This weekend’s board-up is a collaboration between the youth council, Pastor Carl Zerweck of Rippling Hope and the District 7 team. The goal is to stabilize the neighborhood around the center and encourage surrounding block clubs to work collectively to build up the neighborhood.
The Group will meet at 12:30 p.m. at the Islamic Center, 14350 Tireman and then walk to the homes
The homes are located at:
8344 Strathmoor
8343 Strathmoor
8361 Strathmoor
8366 Strathmoor
