Project Clean Slate recipient of 2025 Simon Foundation Grant; allows work to continue for several more months

The City of Detroit and Project Clean Slate (PCS) recently received a 2025 Simon Foundation grant. This grant will allow Project Clean Slate to continue providing crucial services to their participants, without decreasing their hearing coverage for the next 3 months.

In this round, the Donald R. and Esther Simon Foundation awarded $25,000 to Project Clean Slate, which will enable the program to continue providing free legal services to Detroiters who deserve second chances.

Project Clean Slate provides Detroit residents with free consultation and legal services that facilitate expungement of criminal convictions on residents’ permanent records.

Currently, Project Clean Slate has expunged 18,335 records, 5,030 of them coming from this calendar year alone.
