Former Catholic school becoming affordable housing

Capuchins and Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan are redeveloping the historic school at St. Matthew Parish on Detroit's east side. The buildings will be transformed into the Residences at St. Matthew with 46 apartments with on-site supportive services and other amenities for low-income residents. There are 21 units intended for households earning no more than 30%, 50% and 60% of area median income. The other twenty-five units are intended for Permanent Supportive Housing for individuals previously experiencing homelessness. The Capuchin Soup Kitchen is honored to be a part of this project by furnishing the 25 Permanent Supportive Housing apartments. They are looking for community support by purchasing items from their wish list or by volunteering on March 22, 2025 to help get the units ready for residents to move-in.
