DETROIT (AP) - A writer is expected to receive a house on Detroit’s eastside through a program that awards homes to new writers-in-residence.

The Detroit Land Bank Authority says the house was bought from the Land Bank for $5,000 and renovated over the past six months.

The keys will be handed Tuesday to Anne Elizabeth Moore. Moore also is an editor, artist and cultural critic from Chicago. She is the third person to get a home through the Detroit-based Write A House literary organization.

On Tuesday, the program also will announce that a fourth house has been awarded to a local writer. Renovations will start this month on that home with move-in expected this fall.
