What is the Buyback Program?
The buyback program ensures the home remains affordable for a minimum of 10 years and gives the HHFDC or a qualified non-profit entity the first option to purchase the property in the event of a sale or transfer during the first 10 years of ownership. Owner occupancy is required during this period. The restriction automatically terminates 10 years from the date the deed transferring ownership to the buyer, is recorded. HHFDC prior written consent is required for certain activities related to use, refinance, sale and transfer of the property.
