In 2014, more than 100 elderly people were shuffled out their apartment building in downtown Detroit and forced to move.

Their longtime home, Griswold Apartments for low-income seniors, was sold, rehabbed and renamed The Albert, chic luxury apartments where one-bedroom units now rent for $1,700 a month and up.

One man didn’t leave. Two weeks after the deadline for the seniors to move, construction workers found the 61-year-old man dead from an apparent heart attack in the building.

Since then, The Albert has become a cautionary tale for housing activists worried that Detroit’s revival could drive out low-income residents from subsidized housing that is sold and rehabbed into costlier units.
