Why Construction Training Is the Missing Link in Detroit’s Affordable Housing Push

Detroit needs more affordable housing — and fast. With hundreds of vacant lots and aging homes ready for rehab, the opportunity is massive. The challenge? There aren’t enough skilled workers to get the job done.

That’s where Detroit Home Builders comes in.

We’re not just a construction company — we’re a workforce development engine. Through our certified training programs, we’re creating a pipeline of trained Detroiters ready to build the very communities they live in.

Here’s What Makes Our Approach Different:

✅ We train Detroiters to become part of the solution.

From demolition to drywall, our students learn real construction skills on real Detroit homes.

✅ We blend training with impact.Every home we touch becomes a classroom — and eventually, a livable, affordable home.

✅ We address two crises at once: housing + employment.

By investing in people, we create lasting solutions — not just quick fixes.

Let’s Be Clear:

You can’t solve the affordable housing crisis without the labor to build it. And you can’t close the labor gap without training and opportunity.

Detroit Home Builders is leading the way — and we’re ready to scale.

Whether you’re a property owner, developer, city agency, or community partner — let’s connect.

Let’s train. Let’s build. Let’s solve this — together.
