Detroit residents are left underwater again as flooding threatens to wash away their future

Detroit's Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood faces persistent flooding issues due to inadequate sewage infrastructure, exacerbated by climate change. Despite an approved $11.3 million FEMA grant intended to widen the sewage pipes, the project was canceled by the Trump administration, leaving residents like Robert and Edna Nelson vulnerable to recurring basement floods. Councilwoman LaTisha Johnson highlights the urgent need for infrastructure improvements to prevent further damage and ensure the community's resilience against increasingly severe weather events.
