Homebuyer Education Classes, Required for Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) Loan Program, Now Available for Free at Gesher Human Services

Lindsey Jenn November 6, 2026 0 Homeownership , Michigan Photo by Kindel Media In-person classes to be held in Southfield, virtual options available to all Michiganders; housing market in Michigan favorable to buyers. Gesher Human Services , one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit, is offering Homebuyer Education Classes twice a month through the end of January. While the four-hour classes typically cost $50 for a family, this season the fees are being waived, to remove one extra barrier to families getting into a home that they can own. Such classes are a requirement for the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), Down Payment Assistance Program which provides $7,500-10,000 loans to families with limited incomes hoping to purchase a home. A report by Patch in October suggested the Michigan housing market is showing signs of shifting toward buyers, giving buyers more negotiating power than sellers. Experts believe this is because there are fewer buyers than normal because some have been priced out of the market, and others are worried because of economic uncertainty. The in-person classes will be held at Gesher’s headquarters in Southfield (29699 Southfield Road ) from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; afternoon classes are

Detroit People Mover public corruption scandal nears convictions

A former Detroit official and a businessman accused of bribing him in exchange for more than $300,000 in phony contracts related to the Detroit People Mover are expected to plead guilty soon, according to federal court records. Detroiter Terrence Parker, 51, is accused of bribing Oak Park resident Michael Anderson, 55, the former strategic sourcing and procurement director of the Detroit Transportation Corp., during a conspiracy that ran from 2023-2025, according to court records. They are each charged with one count of federal program bribery — a 10-year felony — in a criminal information, a type of charge that indicates a guilty plea is expected soon. Parker is set to be arraigned Nov. 13 and Anderson is scheduled to plead guilty Nov. 18. Parker's lawyer, Larry Polk, and Anderson's lawyer, Stacey Studnicki, did not respond immediately to messages seeking comment. The developments are unfolding five months after the duo initially was charged in federal court in what marked a rare new bribery scandal within the ranks of a Detroit city government ravaged by corruption in the last 20 years. Those scandals involved former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, several City Council members ― including Monica Conyers and Andre Spivey ― bureaucrats, appointees
