Additionally, Habitat Detroit is actively working on two new build projects on Lakepointe, set for completion next month, which will provide energy-efficient homes for two more families.

With an emphasis on a block-by-block approach, Habitat Detroit hopes to not only lift up new homeowners, but all residents in Morningside. With the most recent closing, Habitat for Humanity Detroit has impacted every home on the block Maryland Street nearest Warren Avenue.
