Claire, Goldengate Street, Detroit 2015
Claire lives in this house with her mother Mary. After a divorce and losing her house to foreclosure, Mary moved to Detroit into this abandoned house where she has been squating for the past two years. The owner of the property owes back taxes of over $7500 and is in default. It is likely that the property will be siezed by the city and put up for public auction, threatening the possibility that Mary and Claire will be evicted.
