Statement of Solidarity
Open Doors Kalamazoo is all about community and right now our community, along with so many other communities around the nation, is in pain. We witnessed two public health crises – a global pandemic and the national police brutality crisis. In both crises, Black and brown people have endured the worst of these attacks. The continual and unwarranted deaths of Black men and women by law enforcement is unacceptable and our communities are demanding change. We stand in solidarity with African-American people around the nation and especially here in Kalamazoo. Black Lives Matter. While we do not condone violence, we understand that people are justifiably angry, as are we. People are demanding change, and we also believe change is necessary for our community and our nation, to heal, grow, and prosper. We are committed as an organization to being inclusive in all areas of diversity, so we recognize the need to continue to educate ourselves, listen and learn. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted by recent events, and long-standing injustices. We are with you.

Open Doors is a home base for success
A home is a haven from the storms of life; the place where we bond, recharge, and renew.
Imagine how life would be turned upside down if you no longer had a home. Imagine the endless cycle of imposing on family and friends because you couldn't afford a place of your own. Imagine what it would do to your marriage, your children, your job, and your outlook on life.
Through programs, partnerships and advocacy, Open Doors has been helping families achieve housing success since 1970. Our programs provide a solution to the housing crisis for low-wage working families.
As families are strengthened, so is our community. Find out more >
