Bank of America donating houses to entice Detroit cops to live in city

Bank of America is donating 10 houses for the city’s project to lure city officers back into city neighborhoods and will tear down 100 vacant properties under a partnership with the city, Mayor Dave Bing announced this morning.

The Project 14 program — named for the police code for “back to normal” — offers housing assistance on tax-foreclosed homes. Under the initiative announced this morning, city officials will look at Bank of America inventory to identify homes that will be used for the project.
