Who are we?

Detroit Eviction Defense is a coalition of homeowners, union members, faith-based activists, community advocates, and allied groups united in the struggle against fore-closure and eviction. We believe that affordable housing is a human right, the foundation of a viable community.

It’s never too late to organize in defense of your home and your neigh-borhood, but no one should fight this fight alone.

More about who we are, what we do.

Bring your issues & support to our weekly open meetings.

The Eviction Defense Committee meets weekly on Thursdays at 6 p.m. To find out more and get on our email list, contact us at the above email address.

Gail McNeil speaking
Gail McNeil came out to testify before the County Commission because she doesn't want anyone else to go through what she's suffered.

 
Former auto worker Gail McNeil is "one of tens of thousands of homeowners in Wayne County alone caught up in the foreclosure crisis. She says she did everything she could to save her house.

"'Relentlessly, I think I've explored every avenue possibly given,' said McNeil.

"Before leaving town, McNeil shared her story with members of the Wayne County Commission at a hearing to fight foreclosures.

"McNeil says she hopes to return to Detroit someday, and she hopes this effort will help other people in the future."

More about this street protest


 

Hurricane Fannie Mae

An Unnatural Disaster.

"Fannie Mae" is the giant company that buys mortgages from banks and sells them to Wall Street investors. The U.S. government took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, another mortgage company, in 2008. They now oversee millions of foreclosures, and pay off Wall Street and the servicing banks at taxpayer expense.

On May 20, 2013, we held a People's Hearing at UAW Local 600 in Dearborn, where we testified to the fraud and predatory practices that drive people from their homes. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had promised for months to be there, but at the last minute they backed out.

Thanks to BIGRAFX, who produced this video of the hearing.
