New, affordable housing opened in Brush Park and Midtown.

The spot I visited Tuesday was Brush Park Apartments.

It's a $19-million development with 53 affordable units and 3,800 square feet of commercial space at 269 Winder in Detroit.

The second is in Midtown. It's named MLK on 2nd, at 3515 Second Avenue.

That $11.5-million project has 33 units and also features ground-floor commercial space.

Out of the combined 86 units across both developments, 63 will be deeply affordable for those earning 60 percent area median income (AMI) or below, with the remainder being available for households earning 80 percent AMI or below.

Here's a chart from the city of Detroit outlining how much that works out to for income and family size.

The projects, funded through various partnerships including CVS Health, Fifth Third Bank, and government programs, aim to make sure Detroiters can afford to live in desirable neighborhoods.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said that more than $1 billion of affordable housing has been built in the last five years.
