Our Detroit News article on the state of Cynara Johnson's living conditions has dropped!

It highlights the lack of accountability and responsibility when it comes to private equity and REITs buying into homeownership in manufactured housing markets - what is supposed to be the ground level for affordable housing.

But like everything else, they've hijacked it to their own benefit and screw everyone else.

Our founder, Tamara Graham, is quoted a few times through our Love Where You Live Foundation Keep Our Homes Initiative.

The GoFundMe for Cynara is mentioned int he article, but not linked. I've included that again in the comments. Please help if you can and please forward!

This lack of accountability hurts all of us!

Good things are happening in the Great Lakes Basin region and we are here for it!

Starting this week, every week we are going to bring you the wins.

The restoration projects, the wildlife comebacks, the legislation moving forward, the communities defending what matters most.

Because this place deserves more than bad news. It deserves Witnesses who show up for the good stuff too.

This week:

River otters returning to waters they were absent from for 40 years.

Federal restoration funding moving forward.

Wetlands being rebuilt.

Miles of rivers reopened for fish.

And a Basin that keeps proving it is worth fighting for.

The Great Lakes Basin is alive! and so is the movement to protect it.

Follow PULSE of the Great Lakes for your weekly good news from around the Basin. Every week. Right here. Starting today.
