The Good Neighbor Next Door Program

Purchase a home for 50% of the appraised value based on where the house is located.

The HUD provides a listing of properties that you may check to find which houses and locations are available.

To participate, you must comply with the HUD’s program regulations and meet the first responder requirements. To be eligible, you must be employed full-time as a firefighter, EMT, paramedic or law enforcement officer by a fire department, EMS unit or law enforcement agency of the Federal Government, a state, a unit of general local government or an Indian tribal government, serving in the locality in which the home is located.

If multiple people apply for the same property, a randomized lottery will be held to determine which applicant gets to place a successful offer.
