Reclaim Detroit Loses Home to Highland Park Fire
The non-profit faces a major setback in the midst of a pending deal with the city of Detroit.
A fire consumed a large warehouse in Highland Park. Residents nearby were evacuated as smoke became visible throughout the area. One of the building’s tenants was Reclaim Detroit, a non-profit that employs people who are out of work to dismantle blighted structures. Craig Varterian is the Executive Director of Reclaim Detroit. He spoke with WDET’s Eli Newman about the loss of the organization’s home.
