Detroit Land Bank Authority

The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) is a government organization that manages and repurposes vacant, abandoned, or tax-delinquent properties in Detroit. Its goal is to stabilize neighborhoods by restoring these properties, whether through resale, redevelopment, or community development initiatives. The DLBA acquires blighted properties, clears titles, and makes them available for qualified buyers, nonprofits, or developers who want to improve the community. This process helps reduce urban decay, promote affordable housing, and revitalize Detroit neighborhoods sustainably.
