K-Love’s Ron Turner takes a Local Closer Look: LifeBUILDERS Detroit

Ron Turner speaks with Larry Johnson and Noah Stricker about deep poverty, unsafe housing, and limited youth opportunities in Detroit’s 48205 zip code. They describe past blight, crime, and job loss, and how their faith-based nonprofit restores stability through affordable, quality housing, renter-to-homeowner pathways, youth mentoring, after-school programs, summer camps, scholarships, and teen employment. Results include revitalized blocks, a renewed park and early childhood center, rising homeownership, and notable crime reduction. They credit God, partners, and volunteers, and invite volunteer engagement and support.
