Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield and the Detroit Land Bank Authority are celebrating the 67 Detroiters who are receiving deeds to their homes on Friday.
A contractor has been charged in connection to billing the city of Detroit over $1 million for backfill dirt used on demolished properties that was acquired from contaminated sources at no cost.
A settlement has been reached between the federal government and Detroit's Land Bank Authority following allegations that some invoices were not collected for backfill dirt used in a demolition program, according to the land bank.
City officials say the program is to help residents who lost their homes to foreclosure but never left, were victims of real estate and landlord fraud or have another significant connect to the home.
