Housing Scandal
After a housing scandal, back in 2009, many south Warren residents were forced out of their homes because rent was hiked by finance companies taking advantage of the crash in the housing market.
In this video, children, teens and adults talk about how Warren Hope has impacted their lives by creating affordable housing. These restored houses are provided with an affordable payment system that allows people to restore credit, build equity and feel pride again. It’s also an opportunity for their families to live safely and purposefully. We see this result in them paying their opportunity forward to help others..
Making Things Right
Chuck Locklear, who’s a retired Dean of Oakland Schools’ Clarkston Technical Center, grew up in Warren. Chuck talks about the plight of south Warren residents and the organization he founded, Warren Hope, designed to improve this community by renovating dilapidated homes.

Families who are able to get on stable ground, often pass the stability forward to their kids and their grandchildren.
