Homes Planned

Foreclosure Intervention Plan

Habitat's next initiative will be to buy a cluster of vacant, foreclosed properties in Boston. Once we have acquired the properties and family selection is complete, we will begin full, LEED-certified gut renovations of the homes to revitalize the neighborhood.
