Located in Midtown Detroit’s historic Cass Park neighborhood, The Anchor at Mariners Inn has a targeted focus on creating accessible housing for those who have or are currently experiencing chronic homelessness. Created in partnership with Mariners Inn, one of Southeast Michigan’s most celebrated substance-use treatment and recovery centers, the new construction development brings 44 permanent supportive housing units and 40 recovery housing units alongside supportive services for residents designed to help them develop career and life skills.

The Anchor at Mariners Inn is a $25.2 million mixed-use development located next to the current Mariners Inn facility. The project was brought to life through a collaborative partnership between Cinnaire Solutions, Mariners Inn, and Ethos Development Partners and funded through Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), HOME, the City of Detroit Housing and Revitalization Department's Community Development Block Grant, and generous donations from individuals.

“Cinnaire Solutions is the true definition of what a community development finance partner should look like," said Dave Sampson, CEO, Mariners Inn. "Since we began working with the team five years ago, they have been a partner in every sense of the word. Cinnaire Solutions brings to the table a wide range of expertise and a vast network of support and contacts, but most importantly the team is always accessible and personable. This partnership was invaluable to an organization like ours looking to do a project like Mariners Inn for the first time. They are still exceeding my expectations five years later. Cinnaire Solutions has extensive history doing this kind of work across several states in the Midwest and MidAtlantic regions.”
