Make Detroit Home: Remote Workers

WFHere

You don’t have to change jobs to change your life.

The Make Detroit Home: Remote Workers program invites remote workers and their families to build their futures in Detroit—bringing their careers with them as they become a part of Detroit’s momentum, opportunity, and unmatched spirit.

Detroit isn’t just one of the ‘coolest places to visit’ according to Travel & Leisure; it’s an even better place to build a life. As Vogue says, “Detroit is having a major moment.” This is your sign to not let it pass you by.

Detroit offers something different: a strong sense of community, a low cost of living to build the life you want, and a truly incredible quality of life. Your people are here, opportunity is here, and the kind of life you’ve been dreaming about is possible–only in Detroit. You can get a front row seat to world-class art, musical genius, world-renown architecture, and sports contenders on every corner, plus a table or a ticket at the hottest spot in town. You can make an impact on the world–in your career and in your community-and still kick back to enjoy life, all courtesy of the 3-1-3.

For remote workers, it’s a chance to stay connected to your work, while achieving your goals, and building real, local connections in one of the most iconic, creative, and innovative cities in America.

Why Detroit?

As more professionals gain the flexibility to work from anywhere, cities that offer affordability, a great quality of life, and world-class amenities are winning.

Detroit stands out—not just as a place to live, but as a place to belong. With one of the world’s fastest growing startup ecosystems, a growing network of remote workers, coworking opportunities, and community-driven programming means it’s easier than ever to plug in and feel at home.

Choosing where you’ll invest your energy and build your future is voting with your feet. The place you choose to live benefits from your tax dollars–an investment in local quality of life; from your expertise in the local talent pool–one in demand from Detroit’s fast-growing industries and innovation ecosystem; and from your investment–as a customer to local business, a homeowner in your community, and beyond. The Make Detroit Home: Remote Workers program makes that choice easy.
