We're excited to have you participate in our "Buy Back" Program! It is an important strategy for keeping affordable homeownership opportunities available in our region. Habitat GSF is able to buy back homes from current families looking to sell their homes for reasons such retirement or downsizing. We repair and resell the home to another low-income family, keeping these affordable homes in our communities.
