Three Families, Three Homes at Radiothon

As has become tradition during each annual S.A.Y. Detroit Radiothon, three deserving families received the keys to their new homes through the Working Homes/Working Families program. The idea of Working Homes/Working Families is simple. Detroit has too many abandoned houses. It also has too many families who lack a decent place to live.

#SAYDetroit #WorkingHomesFamilies: Robinsons (veteran dad, son Ezell, and Merranda) got to see their new home for the first time today! The idea of Working Homes/Working Families is simple. Detroit has too many abandoned houses. It also has too many families who lack a decent place to live. http://

the lovely Legette family in disbelief at their new home from #WorkingHomesWorkingFamilies. They will pay tax and utilies and if they maintain home for 2 years, its theirs. It’s a hand up, not a hand out. Support families like these 855-955-GIVE http://www.whosay.com/l/IQlbjHx #SAYDetroit
