We're highlighting the Third Ward on this #ThrowbackThursday. Here's a 1936 photo of the snow-covered corner of Hall and Madison SE. Thanks, City Archives, for another great image from our past.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” Yesterday we kicked off the first of many community engagements opportunities around the Motown Square affordable assisted living development! Getting feedback from the community is vital to our process!
Today we will be hosting two community meetings to discuss a new development! Motown Square will be an Affordable Assisted Living development located in 49507/Madison Area neighborhood! We’ll be back around noon to give some highlights during the meeting!
It has been a big week for us here at LINC UP. Two days ago we cut the ribbon! Today our residents are moving into Garfield Park Lofts! We are so excited to welcome you home!

@A_S_Alexander Two break downs of court demographics by gender and age.
@A_S_Alexander A break down of how most court cases are resolved in Michigan. The vast majority are resolved with a guilty plea.
@A_S_Alexander On to the court data: 9 out of 10 cases filed in Michigan district courts in 2018 were for misdemeanors.
Rep. Yancey asks why arrest data being presented to the #MIJailsTaskForce is predominantly broken down racially as Black and white, with less than 3% of the data showing arrests for Asian and Indigenous pops and no data on Arab Americans.
A breakdown of the top 10 offenses for which arrests occurred in 2018.
As Pew begins to discuss their preliminary data, overall arrests are down in Michigan, but Black people are still being arrested at a higher rate than white folks.
If you couldn't make it to the #MIJailsTaskForce meeting this morning in Grand Rapids, the meeting is streaming live here: woodtv.com/news/target-8/… We'll be updating from Twitter throughout the course of the day as well.

Some crucial insights about building restorative justice infrastructure as an entry point into ending mass incarceration.
Most survivors of violent crimes prefer alternatives to prison for the people who hurt them. It's time the U.S. started listening, focusing on more than prisoners convicted of non-violent offenses to end mass incarceration, says Danielle Sered. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
