The torrential rain and flooding that struck parts of Metro Detroit on June twenty-sixth took a “devastating” toll on some households. That’s especially true in some Detroit communities, where many people lack insurance and there are a large number of low-income, senior, or disabled residents.
That has many leaders in those neighborhoods calling for more assistance from all levels of government. In the meantime, community groups are doing what they can to help people recover.
