FILE _ In this Sept. 26, 2013 file photo a young man walks in front of a row of abandoned houses in Detroit. Detroit has thousands of decrepit and abandoned homes and buildings.

That includes a greatly accelerated program to salvage homes that can be rehabilitated and level and clear those that cannot be saved. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio, File)
