Detroit Land Bank Authority

The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) is focused on revitalizing Detroit neighborhoods by making properties available for purchase and redevelopment. They offer various programs to access vacant land and properties, including auctions, the Own-it-Now program for as-is houses, and Rehabbed & Ready properties for move-in ready homes or those needing final touches.

The DLBA also facilitates community projects through programs like Create-a-Project, enabling block clubs and community groups to create community spaces. Additional initiatives include pathways to ownership and housing stability through the Buy Back & Occupied program, and a Nuisance Abatement Program to address blighted properties in partnership with communities.

They provide resources such as financing help and renovation perks to assist buyers. The DLBA submits quarterly reports to Detroit City Council and operates with policies and procedures accessible to the public, alongside an ethics hotline for reporting concerns.
