What Is My Keys Please

One Saturday.
Everything you need.

My Keys Please is Abayomi CDC's annual homebuyer education seminar — a full day designed for Detroit families who are ready to own but need the knowledge, the access, and the credential to make it real.

In 28 years of serving this community, we've learned that the biggest barriers to homeownership aren't the mortgage — they're the information gap and the access gap. My Keys Please closes both.
