Community Stabilization and Restoration Program


         ...Restoring Communities One Home at a Time

 

Homes That Change Lives (HCL) is now working to solve the nations housing program by participating with various community revitalization programs across the country. These community programs are a perfect fit with the goals and mission of HCL. Community stabilization and restoration programs were developed to assist in the national effort to stabilize property values and restore distressed neighborhoods due to foreclosed and abandoned real estate. This program is designed for homes to be purchased through approved “Direct Access Platforms” through approved Non-Profit 501(c) 3 organizations.

Homes That Change Lives, as an approved 501(c)3 tax exempt organization, has the advantage of receiving REO properties before the open market listings and most investors gain access. HCL is working with institutions, both private and public, to purchase these properties and make them available to our target markets. By allowing HCL to purchase, rehab and sell to our target market, we help maintain fair pricing and equal distribution of homes throughout the community.

Homes That Change Lives has aligned itself with an impressive list of investors, builders and executives focused on the goal of creating a better community environment. By doing so, this expands our ability to make bulk purchases, rehab and sell multiple properties at the same time.
