New bill would help 31,000 Detroit homeowners avoid tax foreclosure
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan announced the "Pay as you stay" plan on Wednesday. The housing plan is intended to help residents avoid tax foreclosure by easing the financial burden on the city's lowest earners.

The plan still needs approval by the state legislature.
