DEMONSTRATION – Tuesday, Sept. 5, Noon

Wayne County Treasurer Office
400 Monroe, Detroit (in Greektown)

The people of Detroit scored a significant concession in the meeting with MSHDA on Wednesday, August 30. They agreed to have the Coaliton to Stop Tax Foreclosures draft an amendment to the Step Forward rules to allow for Hardest Hit Funds to be used for the city of Detroit and./ or Wayne County to pay back property tax bills if they expercise right of first refusal on the 1400 occupied homes facing auction and then eviction starting next week. MSHDA which oversees the Hardest Hit Funds said they would submit this proposal for approval by Treasury. Join the demonstration Tuesday to demand the auction be stopped while we get this practical proposal to save 1400 families from eviction implemented.

COME TO THE IMPORTANT DEMONSTRATION THIS TUESDAY. IF WE KEEP UP THE PRESSURE WE WILL WIN THIS FIGHT!
