Families for the Future

Committed to strengthening families, uplifting youth, and building empowered communities.

At Abayomi CDC, we believe strong families build strong communities.

For over two decades, we’ve partnered with Detroit residents to provide compassionate support through housing counseling, wellness services, youth development, and community empowerment. Together, we’re creating pathways to stability, healing, and generational success.
