Here's to hoping many families get to more in a home.

Detroit is putting $9.2 million over three years into getting families out of shelters and into their own homes.
The Homeless to Housed program covers 6 to 12 months of rent plus security deposits, and comes with case management, help finding a place, working with landlords, and staying stable once you're in.
It prioritizes families with kids currently in emergency shelters, about 140 households a year. Mayor Sheffield says the goal is to move as many families as possible into housing before winter.
Families are selected through the city's shelter assessment process.
If your family needs shelter or housing help, the entry point is the Detroit Housing Resource HelpLine: 866-313-2520, Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 9 to noon.
