About Us

We’re East Pathway Development Inc, founded by husband and wife team, Jorel and Shellary Wilson—two proud Detroiters who care deeply about the block we call home. Our mission is simple: help more folks in our community become homeowners, because everyone deserves a place they can truly call their own.

Detroit’s homeownership rate is sitting at 51%, while the national average is 66%. That gap? We’re trying to close it. We link up with groups that run real workshops—no fluff—just straight-up info and support to help people get the keys to their own spot.

But it doesn’t stop there. We also created an Urban Sensory Garden—a chill, healing space where people can breathe, reset, and grab some fresh produce. Food insecurity is real, so we’re doing our part by giving folks a place to grow what they need, and a place to just be. We believe in service, and around here, that means showing up, digging in, and building with love.
