“Initiatives like the Detroit Home Repair Fund are crucial to preserving and revitalizing Detroit, because homeownership is the cornerstone for building wealth and stabilizing families.”
“We’ve long envisioned bringing life-changing rehabilitation services to Michigan... Now, thanks to the power of these partnerships and the generosity of Dan and Jennifer Gilbert, we can achieve both on behalf of those we serve.”
“The magnitude of Dan and Jennifer Gilbert’s generosity in Detroit is just extraordinary. Each financial gift they are making is deeply personal to them, whether it is helping thousands of Detroiters stay in their homes, building a physical rehabilitation center or funding an NF research facility... Detroit is a better place because of Dan and Jennifer’s commitment to helping others.”
“This is the simplified approach that Detroiters need to keep housing stability and the dream of homeownership alive, accessible and equitable in our great city.”
