Detroit Future City Releases New Report

Keeping Your Family Home

On Tuesday, February 27, Detroit Future City (DFC) released “Keeping Your Family Home: Addressing the Challenges of Inherited Properties in Detroit.” This report was developed to gain an understanding of challenges around the intergenerational transfer of homes in Detroit to preserve family wealth and stability.

Heirs’ properties—defined as family-owned property inherited through generations or passed on to recipients without formal legal proceedings to prove ownership— pose significant challenges to individuals, families, and communities. The properties identified in this report are those whose owners were listed in the 2023 City’s Tax Assessors’ data but had died between 2014 and 2022.

People living in heirs’ properties may not even be aware that they do not legally own their home until they find themselves looking to access crucial homeownership resources. It can be difficult, or even impossible, for an individual living in an Heirs’ Property to sell the property, borrow money against its equity, or obtain homeowners insurance as these homes often face barriers to accessing important city and county financial aid programs.

The report and accompanying primer serve as resources for Detroit residents, advocates, and families that define heirs’ properties and outline actionable next steps Detroiters and policymakers can take to resolve the issue of inherited properties in Detroit, prevent future incidences, and protect their family homes.

The “Keeping Your Family Home” report provides the following key insights:

  • There are more than 5,500 heirs’ properties in the city worth $270 million, indicating the potential for significant loss of wealth for long-time Detroiters if the issue persists.
  • They are found in the highest concentration in the Boynton, Bagley, Airport Sub, and Schaefer 7/8 Lodge neighborhoods.
  • There are 215 heirs’ properties in census tracts that had a median home sale price of at least $150,000 as of 2021.
  • About 9% (496) of all inherited properties in the city are at immediate risk of tax foreclosure this year.

“Keeping Your Family Home” builds upon an extensive portfolio of housing and income and wealth building research conducted by Detroit Future City’s Center for Equity, Engagement and Research, including publications and reports focused on challenge and opportunities to mortgage originations, single-family home redevelopment and small-dollar mortgages.

The report was developed with research support from Data Driven Detroit and was funded by the Gilbert Family Foundation whose mission is to build opportunity and equity for Detroiters.

“Homeownership is both an important vehicle for building generational wealth and a place to provide stability for a family,” said Anika Goss, DFC CEO. “As Detroit works to grow the middle class and close economic equity gaps, we need a better understanding of how to preserve and increase homeownership, and ‘Keeping Your Family Home’ contains critical data to help stakeholders develop the programming we need.”

“Detroit Future City’s research reveals an important, but underreported vulnerability to housing stability in Detroit,” said Laura Granneman, Executive Director, Gilbert Family Foundation. “Too many Detroit residents are losing out on the stability and equity of homeownership because they lack the legal resources to negotiate the complex probate process. We look forward to working with stakeholders around the city to act on these findings.”

The research was also supported by a collaboration of non-profit, philanthropic and public stakeholders including United Community Housing Coalition, Michigan Legal Services, Lakeshore Legal Aid, the Gilbert Family Foundation, the City of Detroit, and the Wayne County Treasurer’s Office.

About Detroit Future City

Detroit Future City is a think-and-do tank that coordinates strategies, actions, and resources to catalyze long-term revitalization, improve economic equity and enhance quality of life in Detroit.  The organization is organized into three departments – Land Use and Sustainability, Community and Economic Development, and the Center for Equity, Engagement, and Research – with a 17-member staff and 16-member board of directors. 

DFC was launched in May 2013 to advance the recommendation of the DFC Strategic Framework, a 50-year vision for the City of Detroit.  In January 2016, Detroit Future City became an independent nonprofit.  

Detroit Future City publica el informe:

Manteniendo su casa familiar

El martes 27 de febrero, Detroit Future City (DFC) publicó “Mantenga a su familia en casa: un acercamiento a los desafíos de las propiedades heredadas en Detroit”. Este informe fue desarrollado para comprender los retos relacionados con la herencia de casas en Detroit, para preservar la familia, riqueza y estabilidad.

Las propiedades de los herederos, definidas como propiedades familiares heredadas de generación en generación o transmitidas a los destinatarios sin procedimientos legales formales para demostrar la propiedad, plantean desafíos importantes para las personas, las familias y las comunidades. Las propiedades identificadas en ese informe son aquellas cuyos propietarios aparecían en los datos de los Tasadores de Impuestos de la Ciudad de 2023 pero habían fallecido entre 2014 y 2022.

Es posible que las personas que viven en propiedades heredadas, ni siquiera sepan que no son los propietarios legales de su casa hasta que se encuentren buscando acceso a recursos cruciales de la vivienda. Puede ser difícil, o incluso imposible, para una persona que vive en una propiedad heredada venderla, hipotecarla u obtener un seguro de propiedad, ya que estas casas a menudo enfrentan barreras para acceder a importantes programas de ayuda financiera de la ciudad y el condado.

El informe y el manual que lo acompaña sirven como recursos para los residentes, defensores y familias de Detroit definiendo las propiedades de los herederos y describiendo los próximos pasos viables que los habitantes de Detroit y los formuladores de políticas pueden tomar, para resolver el problema de las propiedades heredadas en Detroit, prevenir incidentes futuros y proteger a esas familias.

El informe “Mantenga a su familia en casa” proporciona las siguientes ideas:

  • Hay más de 5.500 propiedades heredadas en la ciudad por un valor de 270 millones de dólares, lo que indica la posibilidad de una pérdida significativa de riqueza para los antiguos residentes de Detroit si el problema persiste.
  • Se encuentran en mayor concentración en los vecindarios de Boynton, Bagley, Airport Sub y Schaefer 7/8 Lodge.
  • Hay 215 propiedades heredadas en zonas censales con un precio de venta promedio de al menos $150,000 en 2021.
  • Alrededor del 9% (496) de todas las propiedades heredadas en la ciudad están en riesgo inmediato de que se quite el título de propiedad si no se pagan los impuestos.

“Mantenga a su familia en casa” se basa en una amplia investigación realizada por el Centro para la Equidad, el Compromiso y la Investigación de Detroit Future City, incluyendo publicaciones sobre ingresos y creación de dividendos; informes centrados en los desafíos y oportunidades del origen de las hipotecas y la reurbanización de viviendas unifamiliares y pequeñas hipotecas.

El informe se desarrolló con el apoyo de investigación de Data Driven Detroit y fue financiado por la Gilbert Family Foundation, cuya misión es generar oportunidades y equidad para los habitantes de Detroit.

“La propiedad de una vivienda es un vehículo importante para generar riqueza generacional y una forma de brindar estabilidad a una familia”, dijo Anika Goss, directora ejecutiva de DFC. “Mientras Detroit trabaja para hacer crecer la clase media y cerrar las brechas de equidad económica, necesitamos una mejor comprensión de cómo preservar y aumentar la propiedad de vivienda, y “Mantenga a su familia en casa” contiene datos críticos para ayudar a las partes interesadas a desarrollar la programación que necesitamos”.

“La investigación de Detroit Future City revela una vulnerabilidad importante, pero no reportada, a la estabilidad de la vivienda en Detroit”, dijo Laura Granneman, directora ejecutiva de Gilbert Family Foundation. “Demasiados residentes de Detroit están perdiendo la estabilidad y la equidad de la propiedad de vivienda porque carecen de los recursos legales para negociar el complejo proceso sucesorio. Esperamos trabajar con las partes interesadas de la ciudad para actuar sobre estos hallazgos”.

La investigación también contó con el apoyo público, filantrópico y sin fines de lucro, incluyendo United Community Housing Coalition, Michigan Legal Services, Lakeshore Legal Aid, Gilbert Family Foundation, la ciudad de Detroit y la Oficina de Tesorería del Condado de Wayne.
