Together, we create permanent, clean and safe homes where individuals and families can rebuild their lives, thrive and build generational wealth.
Who We Serve
Partnerships
Through partnerships with dozens of nonprofit organizations that offer affordable housing, community stabilization and skilled-training opportunities, Land Bank Charities identifies suitable vacant homes and donates them to such mission-based organizations and churches. These homes are then renovated with funds raised through philanthropic networks to meet the housing needs of typically underserved populations.
