Detroit City Council supports bill aiming to address housing for renters with criminal backgrounds

The Detroit City Council unanimously voted to support the Fair Chance Access to Housing Act on Tuesday. Supporters hope this will send a message to lawmakers in Lansing that they want House Bill 4878 voted into law.

Does that include the Invaders too? Detroit is a 'Sanctuary City'. MS-13 have a criminal background ... they will be given Top Priority over citizens, veterans (actually, living in Detroit is not good for vets) and those with genuine hardships?

NO!! they need to give housing to those that are victims of crimes first. domestic violence victims do not deserve to be homeless while the criminal continues to get more rights than everyone else.
