TURN A HOUSE INTO HOPE

Transform Your Property Into a Pathway to Homeownership for Detroit Families

We’re working to empower families, stabilize neighborhoods, and build lasting community wealth.

The Detroit Homeownership Center CDC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is fighting back against displacement and speculation by giving working families the one thing they’ve been denied for decades: a home they can truly call their own.

We’re looking for properties like:

  • Single-family homes
  • Duplexes and small multi-units
  • Vacant homes with rehab potential
  • Rental portfolios from ethical owners
  • Tax-reverted or inherited properties

Your property donation will:

  • Create primary homeownership for families priced out by investors
  • Stabilize neighborhoods through intentional, owner-occupied housing
  • Build generational wealth in historically redlined and underserved communities
  • Re-purpose vacant lots into community assets
  • Provide you with IRS-recognized charitable tax deductions

Who can make an impact:

  • Investors tired of maintenance headaches and holding costs
  • Property managers with unused or inactive portfolios
  • Heirs or landlords ready to do something good
  • Developers seeking meaningful community impact plus tax benefits

Why act now?
Investor speculation has locked thousands of Detroiters out of homeownership. Together with local financial institutions, we’re creating mortgage-ready, future homeowners—but we can’t do it without available properties.

Donate today. Build tomorrow.
Your unused property could become a family’s forever home.
