Project Clean Slate

Mark your calendars for June 11th! Project Clean Slate will be attending Councilmember Angel Whitfield Calloway’s Charity Hall Career Day for returning citizens. Stop by the PCS table to get registered and connect with other organizations and resources that will be in attendance. We hope to see you there!

Meet Project Clean Slate’s summer law clerk, Hannah Gorman!
Hannah is heading into her second year at Wayne State University Law School. During undergrad, she spent two years working at a public defender’s office, where she discovered her passion for public interest work.
She’s excited to continue that work at PCS by supporting clients through the expungement process and serving the Detroit community. Welcome to the team, Hannah!

Are you a licensed attorney looking to give back?
Project Clean Slate is seeking pro bono attorneys to help prepare clients and represent them during expungement hearings. Most hearings are held via Zoom, and volunteers can choose dates that fit their schedule.

Congratulations to Executive Administrative Assistant Sharron Lewis for completing her associate’s degree in general studies! Sharron was motivated to finish her degree to set an example for her daughter and show her the importance of finishing what you start.

The Project Clean Slate team is so proud of her and all she has accomplished. Congratulations, Sharron!

Looking for a new job, expungement support, or community resources? The District 1 Job Fair has something for everyone! On Monday, June 1st, Project Clean Slate will be on-site registering Detroiters for our program alongside other community organizations providing valuable resources.

Huge congratulations to Project Clean Slate Legal Assistant Chadan Williamson on earning her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, with a minor in pre-law, this past weekend!

Three years ago, Chadan was inspired to return to school and pursue a degree that aligned with the meaningful work she was doing every day. When Chadan joined PCS in 2023, the program provided the flexibility that made it possible for her to return to school and begin her studies at Wayne State University in January 2024. Now that she has earned her bachelor’s degree, Chadan plans to return to WSU next year to pursue her master of studies in law.

The entire PCS team is incredibly proud of Chadan and all she has accomplished. Congratulations, Chadan!

Yesterday, Mayor Mary Sheffield announced Occupy the Summer, an initiative bringing fun, resources, and community engagement opportunities to Detroiters. Project Clean Slate is honored to be part of this programming and will be attending! We look forward to seeing you there!

Sometimes, expungement can be a long process. Timing depends on many factors. But one thing is certain: the sooner you register, the sooner you can begin the path toward a clean slate!
