From new outdoor basketball courts and skate parks to affordable housing opportunities, community benefits can create meaningful investments in neighborhoods across Detroit.

Detroit saw significant reductions in crime this summer, including an 89% drop in youth homicides.

From June through August 2026, compared to the same period in 2025:

📉 Homicides decreased 25%
📉 Juvenile homicides decreased 89%
📉 Carjackings decreased 34.6%
📉 Nonfatal shootings decreased 9.4%
📉 Motor vehicle theft decreased 17.2%

The City’s 10-week Occupy the Summer initiative also reached approximately 15,000 young Detroiters, providing activities, recreation and opportunities to stay engaged.

Mayor Mary Sheffield and Police Chief Todd Bettison highlighted continued police enforcement, community violence intervention, and investments in youth programming as part of Detroit’s public safety strategy.

Mayor Sheffield and DDOT are working to install more than 200 new bus shelters and 200 benches across Detroit through 2027.

For Detroiters who depend on public transportation, that means more places to sit, more protection from Michigan’s unpredictable weather, and more comfortable waits at bus stops.

It’s part of the City’s continued investment in improving the everyday experience for DDOT riders.

More than 37,000 Detroit households are living in inadequate housing, and 43% of Detroiters report needing at least one major home repair.

On September 8, Mayor Sheffield signed an executive directive making home repair a major priority and establishing a more coordinated citywide strategy to help Detroit homeowners.

Heather Zygmontowicz has been appointed Senior Advisor on Home Repair and will lead efforts to bring together more than 30 organizations offering repair assistance, secure additional funding, and make it easier for residents to navigate available programs.

The goal is to help more Detroiters make critical repairs, remain in their homes, and protect the stability of our neighborhoods.

Mayor Sheffield announced a new five-point plan to improve housing conditions and bring thousands more rental properties into
