Make It Home enables eligible Detroiters occupying tax-foreclosed houses to become homeowners rather than face eviction. The program leverages the City of Detroit’s “right of refusal,” allowing the City to purchase properties before the tax foreclosure auction for the value of the back taxes owed, or two times the state equalized value (SEV) if a Claim of Interest was filed by the previous owner. These properties are then purchased by the United Community Housing Coalition using philanthropic funding from the Rocket Community Fund.
