The catch is that you have to live in Detroit. From here.
Good news for struggling writers: the key to sustaining your lifestyle is to go to a city that’s struggling more.

A new nonprofit organization called Write-A-House, located in Detroit, Michigan (which, earlier this year, became the largest city in the United States to file for and enter bankruptcy) has found something creative to do with the city’s seemingly endless blocks of vacant homes—gut them from the inside-out, fix them up, and give them to writers.
So if your dream is to live the writer's life, here's your start; you'll still have to figure out how to pay for food and such, but you won't have to worry about where you're going to live or how you're going to pay the rent. :cattail:
 
Writing murder mysteries is one thing, staying out of one is another.

Oh yeah, a free house is one thing but utilities and property taxes are another. Some of the highest rates for both in that area.
