Affordable Homeownership


We design and build new homes and improve existing residences in neighborhoods that are in need of revitilization.

Our Program is designed to provide homeownership opportunities for low to moderate income families, revitilize neighborhoods and build healthy communities. We build well designed quality homes that are energy efficient and yet affordable. Some of our partners who assist us in making quality housing affordable include the City of Chattanooga, Chattanooga Housing Authority, Urban League of Chattanooga, Community Impact of Chattanooga, and Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise.

Qualified Homebuyers who meet income limit restrictions will be able to purchase our homes at a very affordable price.

Eligibility Requirements:

  1. The buyers who are qualified to purchase our homes must be considered low income. Applicant's income must be at or below the area median income level. (Please call to find out if you qualify)
  2. Applicants must be pre-qualified for a mortgage loan (THDA or comparable) from a reputable lender. (Written proof of pre-qualification is required.)
  3. Applicants must complete a homebuyer education program.

Roof Replacement Program


Do you need a new roof but can't afford to have it replaced?

If you are low income we can help you.

We have grants available through our roof replacement program.

Qualifications:

1. Reside in the Chattanooga city limits.

2. Meet HUD Low to Moderate Income qualification (within 80% of area median income).

3. House must be owner occupied.

4. All City and County property taxes must have been paid through the current year.

5. Senior Citizens and disabled homeowners will get priority consideration.

The work will be done by professional contractors who will provide a five year comprehensive warranty on labor, material and installation. The program is through a five year forgivable grant. After five years the total amount of the grant will be forgiven.

We have a limited amount of funding for the roofing program. We will try to help as many people as possible this year. If we run out of money and can't help you this year,  we will put you on the waiting list for next year’s roof replacement program.

For further information and to request an application, please contact us.
