When it comes to poverty, a deep-seated issue that reverberates across Detroit even as the city makes strides, the Rev. Solomon Kinloch Jr. knows firsthand what that's like. As a child, one of six in his family, Kinloch's family had their lights and utilities shut off after his mother lost her job and his father wasn't working full-time. At age 6, he and part of his family squatted in an abandoned home in the city. "As a kid, you can imagine being so scared and thinking, 'What the heck is going on?' Lights getting turned off, and utilities and whatnot," said Kinloch's brother, Jonathan, now a Wayne County commissioner. "I remember looking out the window and crying, saying, 'God, why are we going through this?' and praying."
