English Learners Face Funding Gap; Southwest Youth Council Recruits; Fiesta Tigres Celebrates Latino Heritage

In this week’s edition of EL PULSO, Detroit homeowners have until September 22 to apply for two city programs offering free repairs to qualifying households. Critical Home Repair can address problems like leaking roofs and broken heating systems, while Detroit LeadSafe focuses on lead hazards in homes with young children or pregnant residents.

We also look at Michigan’s growing investment in English learners. The state increased funding by $12.5 million this school year, but around 24,000 students still fall into a gap where schools are required to provide language support without receiving additional state funding.

In Southwest Detroit, Congress of Communities is recruiting new members for its Latinx Youth Council. The two-year leadership program will help young people follow local school board meetings and speak up about issues affecting their education.

And in sports, the Detroit Tigers celebrate Fiesta Tigres with a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies, while Detroit City FC struggles through a difficult stretch as the USL Championship playoffs get closer.

The stories featured in this episode are published throughout the week at ELCENTRALmedia.com.
