Residents Get Chance At Stimulus Money
Stimulus Money Available For Low-Income, Homeless Detroit Residents

POSTED: Tuesday, October 6, 2009
UPDATED: 8:05 am EDT October 7, 2009

DETROIT -- Detroit's homeless and low-income residents have another opportunity for a chance at millions of stimulus dollars.

The money is available to help low-income residents from becoming homeless and homeless residents to find housing.

Thousands of people lined up Tuesday.

Some people in line falsely believed they were registering for $3,000 stimulus checks from the Obama Administration.

City officials told Local 4 that Detroit was granted $15 million to help residents pay bills and their rent or find temporary housing for the homeless.

Watch: Thousands Line Up For Stimulus Check Applications

The Detroit Planning and Development Department (PDD) is taking applications Tuesday and Wednesday for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program.

The applications deadline is Oct. 7.

The remaining 5,000 applications can be picked up Wednesday at the Cobo Hall in the Riverview Ballroom from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Already filled out applications can be submitted at the Cobo Hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or sent in the mail to the Detroit Planning and Development Department at 65 Cadillac Square, Suite 1400, Detroit, MI., 48226.

Applications must be postmarked by Oct. 7.

Application Guidelines

To qualify, a person must have been a resident of Detroit for more than six months, must be homeless or facing eviction and must be able to maintain housing after receiving assistance.

Also, a resident must make 50 percent less than the median area income, which would be less than $24,850 for single Detroit residents and less than $35,500 for a family of four.

No mortgage assistance will be available through this program.

Once applications are reviewed, only applicants eligible for funding assistance will receive notification from a service provider.

I've been getting calls from some mortgage company that's been promising "stimulus money for distressed homeowners" for months now. It is, of course, a scam.



Yep, its a scam

http://www.clickondetroit.com/video/21216628/index.html

To be somewhat fair, there is a scam selling fake applications for 20 bucks.

A WRJ Detroit interview transcript. Hearing it is better but I cant find it.


Quote

ROGULSKI: Did you get an application to fill out yet?

WOMAN: I sure did. And I filled it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.

ROGULSKI: Will you know today how much money you're getting?

WOMAN: No, I won't, but I'm waiting for a phone call.

ROGULSKI: Where's the money coming from?

WOMAN: I believe it's coming from the City of Detroit or the state.

ROGULSKI: Where did they get it from?

WOMAN: Some funds that was forgiven (sic) by Obama.

ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get the funds?

WOMAN: Obama getting the funds from... Ummm, I have no idea, to tell you the truth. He's the president.

ROGULSKI: In downtown Detroit, Ken Rogulski, WJR News.



Funny shit and NOT a scam billvon:)

Well, in the calls I've been getting, it's been a scam. Can you prove that these people did not receive the same phone calls? My wife and many of my friends have as well; I would be surprised if people here haven't.

>Now that you know what I posted is not a scam, what do you think of the program?

This program is a scam:

"Some people in line falsely believed they were registering for $3,000 stimulus checks from the Obama Administration."

So was this one:

"Detroit Backpedals On Cobo Chaos
50,000 People Line Up At Cobo Hall Wednesday For Homeless Help

DETROIT -- The city of Detroit turned away thousands of people who lined up Wednesday for a chance to receive stimulus money set aside for homeless and low-income residents.

Now, city officials are trying to backpedal from the chaos that ensued, refusing on-camera interviews with Local 4, trying to explain how a rumor about the president giving away $3,000 in stimulus money spread thoughout the community and created pandemonium outside the Cobo Hall."

So no money giveaways.

However, the article also mentioned applications for money for people who meet the following conditions:

Below poverty line
Either about to lose or have lost their home
Can keep their home if the grant is approved

Money used to keep people from losing their homes is not all bad. It's not ideal, but IMO is a lot better than giving the money to banks.

No, the people in line thought that they were just giving away $3000 to anyone who applied. The people (and perhaps yourself) were misinformed.

They _were_ giving people applications for housing assistance, subject to the criteria I listed above.

No, I had it correct then. I knew and understood the application and that there were many who were just going for the cash. But, it was not a scam (except for those selling the copied apps)

The only difference is that you whine when someone else gets "stimulus" money but your silence suggests you took some yourself.
