Buy Back Program

Our Buy Back Program provides Habitat with the option to repurchase a home from a Habitat family, enabling us to serve more people with that same house.

When a home is repurchased, the Habitat family receives a share of the equity they’ve accrued during their time in Habitat’s Affordable Housing Program. They can use this equity to purchase a home on the open market or invest it in other meaningful life goals. Habitat HMD then performs any necessary repairs to the property and makes it available to another family in need of a “hand-up.”

One Habitat home can serve multiple families over its lifetime, and the cost of serving a family through the Buy Back Program is a fraction of the cost of new construction. Our Buy Back Program ensures that Habitat homes remain affordable in perpetuity.
