Nearly $350 million in federal funding will help Detroit residents and businesses be better prepared for future flooding events. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) presented the city of Detroit with a check for $346.

Awarded in response to historic flooding in 2023, funds will be used to repair or replace failing alley sewer lines, a major cause of basement backups.

The federal government is sending $460.8 million in disaster recovery and prevention funds to Michigan, Wayne County and Detroit.
