With the violence among drug dealers and the frequent police raids on local crack houses, explains Arrington, "we didn't feel safe." During a recent late-night shootout, she says, "one of the bullets ricocheted and came through the bedroom window." According to Kevin Hailey, an autoworker who moved into the C.O.T.S. shelter last week, crack is an omnipresent fact of life in Detroit. "Drugs have taken over," says Hailey. "It has ruined...
