Edited and summarized by the Detroit - MI Documenters Team

Note-taking by October (Meg) Krausch

DHC reports “phenomenal” relationship with the city and a popular paid community advocates program for residents. However, resident representatives from Parkside describe a more contentious relationship with DHC. A meeting between DHC and resident reps is scheduled for July 31.
