Live Midtown program offers hospital, WSU workers incentives to buy homes in Boston-Edison district

The Boston-Edison neighborhood is the latest community where employees of Henry Ford Health System, Detroit Medical Center and Wayne State University are eligible for incentives to buy homes in the historic neighborhood. Through the Live Midtown program, workers can apply for up to $20,000 in incentives toward the purchase of a primary residence in the community. The Live Midtown program is a 3-year-old program, run by nonprofit Midtown Detroit Inc., and funded through a mix of foundation, private and public money. Along with its Live Downtown program, the nonprofit says 1,600 people have used the incentives to move to the city and more than 1,000 have used it to renew leases.
