5 employers offer incentives for Detroit living

About 16,000 employees at five Detroit-based companies will be offered $4 million in loans and rent subsidies to move in or near the city\'s downtown under an incentive program announced Monday aimed at rebuilding the city\'s residential base. Officials with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Compuware Corp., DTE Energy Co., Quicken Loans Inc. and Strategic Staffing Solutions announced \"Live Downtown.\" It\'s the second such incentive program. The Detroit Medical Center, Henry Ford Health System and Wayne State University announced the similar \"Live Midtown\" earlier this year. Midtown has seen growth in home sales and small businesses in recent years, and is home to museums and cultural institutions.
