Faith Based Or Community Based: Same Privatized Model Used To Steal Detroit

Q: What is the difference between Faith Based and Community Based funding in Detroit?

A: One says "Faith", the other says "Community" and they both originated under the George W. Bush administration

Other than that, they both run fraud operations through some Public Private Partnership with fake corporate filings to steal the children, the land and the votes in Detroit.

But now, the Community Development Funding Initiative, comes from TARP and has lots more money with very little oversight, ripe for the stealin' and is an operation of the Clinton Foundation, et al.

The Bush Foundation, et al still sticks with the Faith Based stealin'.

And both Foundations, et al, as Corporate Shape Shifters, are operating out of the Michigan Charity Section.

Are the folks over at Title Source/Quicken Loans/Rock Financial/Dan Gilbert doing Corporate Shape Shifting with Michigan LARA again?




I do not know, so, let us take a look:

Quicken Loans Community Investment Fund


Quicken Loans Community Investment Fund is a foreign L.L.C., but unfortunately, no one know which foreign jurisdiction from which it hails.



Council of Michigan Foundations: Quicken Loans Community Investment Fund

If the Quicken Loans Community Investment Fund is supposed to be for "communities", then why was it allowed to register with the Council of Michigan Foundation under the Corporate Giving Program?

It is not a registered charity of the State of Michigan, under the Office of Attorney General as a foundation.

Come to think about it, there are lots of "foundations" not registered or rather improperly registered through the Office of Attorney General.

I bet Bill Schuette is uttering under his breath that I am a public nuisance, again.

But, I digress.

It is my belief that this Quicken Loans Community Investment Fund, L.L.C. is financially linked with the Detroit Development Fund.

Now, why would I allege such a thing?

Because Quicken Loans partnered with the Detroit Land Bank Authority, which is not incorporated, and is a debtor to the Detroit Development Fund, which uses TARP, and that is also what was said in the press release, below the video:


Quicken Loans Community Investment Fund launches ‘Neighbor to Neighbor’ campaign to connect residents with tax foreclosure resources


     Block clubs and community groups encouraged to join the effort 
    DETROIT, October 30, 2017 – The Quicken Loans Community Investment Fund (QLCIF) has partnered with the United Community Housing Coalition (UCHC) and eight community development organizations to launch an extensive education effort addressing the pervasive issue of tax foreclosure in Detroit. This door-to-door outreach will attempt to reach all 60,000 residential properties behind on property taxes and connect residents at risk of tax foreclosure to resources. Underutilized tools to prevent foreclosure include a property tax exemption for owner occupied homes and an option for disabled veterans. The “Neighbor to Neighbor” program, funded by the QLCIF, is now accepting applications for additional community groups and block clubs to join the peer-to-peer effort and help those at risk of tax foreclosure with the goal of reaching all residents facing this challenge.
    “No one organization can do this work alone,” said Laura Grannemann, vice president of investments for the QLCIF. “We need everyone working together to connect Detroit residents with the tools that will keep them in their homes and allow them to continue building equity as the city grows.”
    Program Background
    In May 2017, the QLCIF partnered with UCHC to knock on the doors of 3,300 occupants of Detroit homes facing the 2017 tax foreclosure auction. The outreach effort helped the residents of 2,100 homes ultimately avoid tax foreclosure and remain in their homes.
    Due to the success of this work, the QLCIF has announced this $500,000 “Neighbor to Neighbor” fund to expand the work and engage additional local organizations in outreach efforts. Canvassers will be paid hourly out of the QLCIF grant.
    The following community groups will participate in the first phase of the rollout:
    • Cody Rouge Community Action Alliance
    • Central Detroit Christian
    • Eastside Community Network
    • Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation
    • Live6
    • Osborn Neighborhood Alliance
    • Bridging Communities, Inc.
    • Black Caucus Foundation
    Other organizations that would like to join the program and receive funding for tax foreclosure awareness outreach should visit foreclosureoutreach.org to fill out an application. Applications will be accepted through Friday, November 10, 2017. A QLCIF representative will respond with next steps.
    The Quicken Loans Family of Companies is a group of for-more-than-profit organizations that have a passion for investing in people and place to open doors to opportunity for Detroiters. The Neighbor to Neighbor program is the latest addition to the Quicken Loans Family of Companies’ long legacy of supporting solutions to systemic challenges facing Detroit’s neighborhoods, like widespread blight, tax foreclosure, and access to affordable housing.
    There are roughly 60,000 homes behind on their property taxes in Detroit. Many of these homeowner’s may qualify for a full or partial property tax exemption. Families facing financial hardship, residents living in poverty and disabled veterans may be eligible to stay in their home.
    This program is part of a wider initiative to maintain the integrity of Detroit neighborhoods and ensure Detroiters have the opportunity to build equity as the city continues to grow. Other work includes:
    • Rehabbed & Ready—Quicken Loans made a $5 million commitment to rehabbing publicly owned homes in partnership with the Detroit Land Bank to boost home values, increase access to financing, and reactivate Detroit homes.
    • Affordability—Bedrock, a full-service commercial real estate firm within the Quicken Loans Family of Companies, signed an agreement with the City of Detroit committing to dedicate 20 percent of its residential portfolio to affordable housing. This agreement includes the development of new housing, as well as preservation of existing affordable units.
    • Blight Removal Taskforce—Dan Gilbert, founder and chairman of Quicken Loans, co-chaired the Blight Removal Taskforce, which brought stakeholders together to provide resources and leadership toward increasing data access regarding blight, advocating for Hardest Hit Funds, and bringing partners together to address blight in our communities.
    • Renter to Owner—Quicken Loans Family of Companies made it possible for 80 renters to become homeowners this year. Using funds donated by QLCIF, families in these homes facing displacement because their landlords failed to pay property taxes were given an opportunity to purchase their home for $2,500 – $5,500.
    At this point we know that Quicken Loans Community Investment Fund, L.L.C. is "partnered" (whatever that means) with the Detroit Development Fund, but did you know the Detroit Development Fund also took over the Black Caucus Foundation?

    No one was paying attention, as it used to be called Drug Free Youth In Detroit, and expanded its assumed names to a few other, strategic key cities in Michigan to implement more privatization policies.

    Yes, the Black Caucus Foundation of Michigan promulgates Emergency Manager Law and Policy.

    I am even going out there to allege that it is laundering money because its membership is too busy trying to snag one of those highly sought after positions of becoming one of "The Elected Ones" so they can save their homes from foreclosure and get a paycheck, with benefits.

    But, I digress.

    As for the partnership with United Community Housing Coalition, I am going to bookmark that subject for right now.

    Got some stuff going on.

    I bet these entrepreneurs do not even know that they will be signing over their businesses, just like the churches did when they accepted Faith Based Funding.

    Same model, different name.

    Anyway, something tells me SIGTARP and DOJ already know this.
