DETROIT (WXYZ) - Thousands of people jammed into Cobo Hall and lined up around the building to seek out housing aid from the federal government. It quickly turned into a mess with reports of fights and nearly a stampede.
People started lining up around midnight, but the real chaos broke out near the front entrance that leads to the ballroom.
Thousands of people jammed into too tight of a space. There were reports of fights and people passing out in the crowd.

Below are the qualifying guidelines for the program:
•Applicants must be homeless or at risk of homelessness
•Assistance is temporary
•Not for chronically homeless
•Must be able to resume responsibility after assistance ends
•No payments are made directly to individuals
•No mortgage assistance via this program
Yeah, and all the people would qualify by these guidelines...
