Write A House, a Detroit-based nonprofit focused on community development and the literary arts, invites DePaulians to apply for its writer’s residency program. Write A House works with vocational programs in Detroit to purchase vacant homes and renovate them. At the same time, the organization holds an admissions campaign to match a deserving writer to one of these homes. The artist is granted full ownership of the house, provided he or she plans to use it as a primary residence. In 2014, Write a House awarded poet-historian Casey Rocheteau its first home, and on April 27, 2015, it will begin accepting a second round of submissions.
