Carter visited the inner-city area as president in 1980 in the aftermath of race riots that left 18 people dead. The three days of rioting followed the acquittal of police officers charged in the beating death of a black man.
"I wanted to come back to Liberty City to show the progress that has been made," Carter said.
The families who will occupy the $35,000 homes are now being chosen.
"What you see behind me will be radically changed in June," said Carter, who has also led projects in other cities including New York and Philadelphia.
Angela Lansbury, whose future on "Murder, She Wrote" was something of a mystery, will return for an eighth season this fall.
Lansbury, 65, will make a full complement of 22 episodes of the detective show, CBS Entertainment President Jeff Sagansky said.

Lansbury has earned six Emmy nominations for her depiction of Jessica Fletcher, a mystery-novelist-turned-sleuth.
