HUD SPECIAL PROGRAMS

HUD has designed special programs that take into consideration police officers, EMT's, teachers, nonprofit organizations, and local government's ability to purchase homes in revitalization areas. Click on one of the above links for more details.

Good Neighbor Next Door: Law enforcement officers, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade teachers, and firefighters/emergency medical technicians can contribute to community revitalization while becoming homeowners through HUD's Good Neighbor Next Door Sales Program. HUD offers a substantial incentive in the form of a discount of 50% from the list price of the home during the Lottery phase. In return, the purchaser must commit to live in the property for 36 months as their sole residence.

Dollar Homes: HUD's Dollar Homes initiative helps local governments to address specific community needs by offering low to moderate income families the opportunity to purchase qualified HUD-owned homes for $1 each.

See http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/np/np_home.cfm for more information.

Nonprofit: The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers community and faith based nonprofit organizations the opportunity to purchase HUD homes at discounts up to 30%. With this discount, local nonprofit organizations invest in their communities through property rehabilitation and resell to first-time homebuyers and low to moderate income families.
