Bridging Neighborhoods Home Swap Program Renovates Home for 70th Delray Family

On Monday, February 6, Mayor Mike Duggan and city housing officials joined with members of the Barajas family of southwest Detroit as they became the 70th family to officially trade in their former home for a newly renovated Detroit Land Bank home through the City’s Bridging Neighborhoods Home Swap program.

The Bridging Neighborhoods Home Swap program was created in 2017 for residents directly impacted by the construction of the new Gordie Howe International Bridge to give them the option to exchange their current home for one in another neighborhood at no cost. The program is available to homeowners in the Delray area who want to relocate but were not offered a buyout from the State.

 Before signing up for the voluntary program, Lidia and Jorge Barajas had lived in their Delray neighborhood for the past 14 years. In 2019, the couple initially declined the opportunity to trade in their home for a newly renovated one in another neighborhood. But then they heard positive feedback from their niece and another friend, both of whom did go through the program, and re-enrolled in the program in 2021.

The Barajases had a unique challenge, however: They have a large family and needed a larger than average home for the program. They have five children and Lidia’s mother also lives with them. Fortunately, the Home Swap program also includes an option for higher occupancy homes for families that need at least four bedrooms. Now, they will live in their new three-story home, which sits along a dense stretch of Livernois between W. Vernor and I-75.

Speaking through her daughter Beatriz who translated for her mother at the Monday press conference, Lidia Barajas was grateful for the opportunity to move into the newly renovated house. “It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to make new memories here,” she said. Beatriz added, “We just wanted to thank everyone for the opportunity to be able to live in a better place and be closer to our community where we have local shops and local supermarkets where we’re frequent customers.”

Mayor Duggan explained the purpose of the relocation program by noting, “There were a lot of families that didn’t get buyouts from the state because the state didn’t need their land, but they are still dealing with the impact of the new bridge. We created the Bridging Neighborhoods program to help take care of homeowners like the Barajas family who wanted to leave their neighborhood, but not their city.”

All but two of the now 70 homes renovated by the Bridging Neighborhoods Home Swap program were purchased for $1 from the stock of properties owned by the Detroit Land Bank Authority. “The land bank is proud to partner with the City on such an innovative program that helps the City meet its goals while empowering Detroiters with choice in where and how they live,” said Tammy Daniels, CEO, Detroit Land Bank Authority. “We welcome any opportunity to contribute our property to high-quality rehabs that create accessible, stable housing solutions for Detroit families.”

The city completed its first successful home swap in 2018 and has been completing about 15 per year since.

“To be able to meet the needs of families who didn’t get bought out, but decided they wanted to relocate is a great feeling,” said Bridging Neighborhoods Director Rico Razo. “Our team works with Home Swap families every step of the way because this is a big decision, and we want them to be happy about their decision to relocate. 70 Delray families are now living in their fully renovated homes all over the city of Detroit, but we also have several hundred families who lived next to, or around, these once vacant eyesores and they now have new neighbors. It’s a win for our families and neighborhoods they are moving to.”

The Bridging Neighborhoods Home Swap program was created in 2017 through a negotiated $32 million community benefits agreement between the city, residents, and the Canadian government, which is paying for construction of the new bridge. The agreement also included $10 million for skilled trades training for Detroiters.

In addition to the home swap program, a portion of the Bridging Neighborhoods budget also paid for nearly 175 homes along the north I-75 service drive to receive new insulating windows and new heating and cooling systems to protect them from the noise and other environmental impacts of the new bridge traffic. That program wrapped up last year.

La renovación de la casa número 70 del programa de intercambio de casas Bridging Neighborhoods en el barrio Delray

El lunes 6 de febrero, el alcalde Mike Duggan y los funcionarios de vivienda de la ciudad se unieron a los miembros de la familia Barajas del suroeste de Detroit al convertirse en la septuagésima familia en intercambiar oficialmente su antigua casa por una recién renovada de Detroit Land Bank a través del Programa de Intercambio de Casas Bridging Neighborhoods de la Ciudad.

El programa “Bridging Neighborhoods Home Swap” se creó en el año 2017 para darles la opción a los residentes directamente afectados por la construcción del Puente Internacional Gordie Howe, de intercambiar su hogar actual por uno en otro vecindario sin ningún costo. El programa está disponible para los propietarios de viviendas en el área de Delray que deseen reubicarse pero que el Estado no les ha ofrecido una compra total.

 Antes de inscribirse en el programa de voluntariado, Lidia y Jorge Barajas habían vivido el barrio Delray por 14 años. En 2019, la pareja rechazó inicialmente la oportunidad de cambiar su casa por una recién renovada en otro vecindario. Pero luego escucharon comentarios positivos de su sobrina y otro amigo, quienes pasaron por el programa y se reinscribieron en el programa en el año 2021.

Sin embargo, la familia Barajas tenía un desafío único: una familia numerosa y requerían una casa más grande que las del promedio que ofrece el programa. Tienen cinco hijos y la madre de Lidia también vive con ellos. Afortunadamente, el programa Home Swap también incluye una opción para viviendas de mayor ocupación para familias que necesiten al menos cuatro dormitorios. Ahora, vivirán en su nueva casa de tres pisos, que se encuentra en un tramo de la Avenida Livernois entre la calle W. Vernor y la I-75.

Beatriz, quien fue la intérprete de su madre Lidia Barajas en la conferencia de prensa del lunes, agradeció la oportunidad de mudarse a la casa recientemente renovada. “Es agridulce decir adiós para crear nuevos recuerdos aquí”, dijo. Beatriz agregó: “Solo queríamos agradecerles a todos por la oportunidad de poder vivir en un lugar mejor y estar más cerca de nuestra comunidad, donde tenemos tiendas locales y supermercados locales de los cuales somos clientes frecuentes”.

El alcalde Duggan explicó el propósito del programa de reubicación al señalar: “Hubo muchas familias que no obtuvieron las compras del estado porque no se requerían sus tierras, pero aún están lidiando con el impacto del nuevo puente. Creamos el programa Bridging Neighborhoods para ayudar al bienestar de los propietarios; como la familia Barajas, los cuales querían dejar su barrio, pero no su ciudad”.

Todas menos dos de las ahora 70 casas renovadas por el programa de intercambio de casas Bridging Neighborhoods fueron compradas por $1 de la existencia inmobiliaria de Detroit Land Bank Authority. “El banco de terrenos se enorgullece de asociarse con la Ciudad en un programa tan innovador que está ayudando a la Ciudad a alcanzar sus objetivos y que al mismo tiempo permite a los habitantes de Detroit elegir dónde y cómo vivir”, dijo Tammy Daniels, directora Ejecutiva de Detroit Land Bank Authority, “cualquier oportunidad de contribuir con nuestras propiedades para rehabilitaciones de alta calidad que creen soluciones de vivienda estables y accesibles para las familias de Detroit”.

La ciudad completó su primer intercambio de casas exitoso en 2018 y ha estado completando alrededor de 15 por año desde entonces.

“Poder satisfacer las necesidades de las familias que no fueron elegidas para la compra de las propiedades, pero que decidieron que querían mudarse me llena de satisfacción”, dijo el director de Bridging Neighborhoods, Rico Razo. “Nuestro equipo trabaja con las familias de Home Swap en cada paso del camino, porque esta es una gran decisión, y queremos que estén contentos con su disposición de reubicarse. 70 familias del barrio Delray ahora viven en sus hogares completamente renovados en toda la ciudad de Detroit, pero también tenemos varios cientos de familias que vivían al lado, o alrededor, y casas destruidas que antes estaban vacías y ahora tienen nuevos vecinos. Es una victoria para nuestras familias y los vecindarios a los que se mudan”.

El programa Bridging Neighborhoods Home Swap se creó en 2017 a través de un acuerdo de beneficios comunitarios negociado de $32 millones entre la ciudad, los residentes y el gobierno canadiense, que ha pagado la construcción del nuevo puente. El acuerdo también incluyó $ 10 millones para capacitación en oficios calificados para los habitantes de Detroit.

Además del programa de intercambio de viviendas, una parte del presupuesto de Bridging Neighborhoods también pagó casi 175 viviendas a lo largo del I-75 Nort Service Drive, para que recibieran nuevas ventanas aislantes y nuevos sistemas de calefacción y refrigeración y protegerlas del ruido y otros impactos ambientales causados por el tráfico del nuevo puente. Ese programa concluyó el año pasado.
