Make a Cash Contribution     

Cash Contributions are always welcome, but in addition to, or instead of cash, you can...

 

Donate land:
Home Inc. will build an affordable house on it and sell it to an income-qualified buyer.
 

Donate a House you no longer need:
Home Inc. can sell or rent it to an income-qualified person.

Bequest land or a house to Home Inc. in your will.

Sell Real Estate to a private individual with a stipulation that part of the proceeds go to Home Inc.
 

Start an Endowment to be use by Home Inc. to provide affordable housing. You can stipulate how the endowment and its proceeds are to be used.

If you don't have cash, land, or a house to donate, but still want to make a difference, consider the following...
 

• Volunteer your time for home building or rehabilitation

• Donate large appliances or building materials.

• Serve on the Home Inc. Board or one of its Committees

• Volunteer your professional expertise in such fields as real estate, accounting or law.

And lastly, don't forget, Home Inc. is not the only way to support affordable housing in Yellow Springs...
 

• If you are a rental property owner, consider not raising the rent as much as you would normally.

• If you are selling your home, consider selling for a lower price that you would otherwise sell it.

• If you own a home that is not currently inhabited, sell it or rent it at an affordable price.

• If you live in a home that is too big for you or your family, consider moving into a smaller home or renting out a portion.

• If you own a piece of land that is currently not being used, consider building an affordable home on it.
