Affordable loans
How it works
In partnership with local lenders, the Land Bank offers affordable loan options as part of the Heritage Home Program (HHP). HHP is a Land Bank initiative that helps homeowners restore and maintain their home if it is at least 50 years old. Homeowners must also be completely current on their property taxes to apply.
