About Us

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.

“Before Abayomi, I didn’t think I could ever own a home. The classes made everything clear — and the team stayed with me the whole way. I’m now a proud homeowner and I tell everyone: start with Abayomi!”
