Hope is on the way to the city of Detroit. Detroit is expanding Project Clean Slate, a program that will expunge qualified individuals' criminal offenses. This expansion will become law on April 11, which will increase the types of crimes eligible for expungement. This new expansion offers hope to many Detroit residents to find employment and improve their lives.
Established in 2016, Project Clean Slate is a program that allows the city of Detroit to act as a lawyer on behalf of residents who have criminal records in their effort to receive an expungement. Under the new law, applicants can receive expungement for up to two felony cases and four misdemeanors, excluding murder cases, rape, driving under the influence, or a driving offense in which someone was killed.
Project Clean Slate will help remove the negative stigma associated with individuals with a criminal record by wiping their slates clean. An expungement is a positive and uplifting event for individuals who have struggled with the barriers of having a criminal record. These individuals are very talented and capable people who, in a different situation, would easily be able to obtain higher-paying jobs. Detroit understands the importance of expungements and wants to help those who have paid their dues to move on with their lives.
Criminal records can create a huge barrier for those looking for employment and housing. By allowing for more housing and job opportunities, not only will these individuals' lives be improved, but so will the city of Detroit. The expansion of Project Clean Slate will create opportunities to rebuild the city. Detroit, along with its residents, is in for a new and improved city and is ready to get records expunged.
