Open Doors Kalamazoo (ODK) offers a pathway to homeownership for residents. ODK partners with households to develop generational wealth through homeownership equity.
Open Doors, in partnership with many community collaborators, assists in creating opportunities to redress the historical housing ownership disparities, particularly within Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities.
Participants receive free financial and homebuyer readiness education, one-on-one homebuyer coaching, and down payment assistance. In addition, the ODK program team partners with participants through the entire home buying journey and up to three years after purchase.
