Foreclosure Acquisition / Rehabilitation Program

The City manages a program to purchase vacant, foreclosed homes, rehabilitate them, and then sell them to low-income households through the First Time Home Buyer program. Home are sold on a first-come, first-served basis to applicants that have been approved through the First Time Home Buyer program and been pre-approved for a mortgage by a lender. A preliminary approval and lender pre-approval letter are required to schedule a showing of available properties. 

Any available rehabilitated homes will be listed on this page. If there are no homes listed on this page, the City does not currently have any available homes through this program.
