Helping youth aging out of care and single-parent families gain housing readiness,
financial education, and tools to thrive.

Founded by Shauntee Blow, The Generational Keys Foundation bridges the gap between housing instability and long-term financial empowerment. As a social worker, real estate professional, and single mom, Shauntee saw firsthand how difficult it is for families—especially those aging out of foster care or raising kids alone—to gain stability.
We believe that with the right tools, resources, and mentorship, generational cycles can be broken, and wealth can be built for decades to come.
To equip youth aging out of care, single-parent households, and underserved communities with financial literacy, rental readiness, and homeownership pathways through education, mentorship, and community partnerships.
A future where every individual—regardless of their background—has the tools and access to create generational wealth and secure long-term housing.
