The Trotwood Housing Rehabilitation Program

In an effort to address the abandoned, vacant properties that remain as a result of the 2008 Great Recession, the Trotwood CIC has acquired tax foreclosure eligible properties using its status under the Ohio Revised Code as a "Land Reutilzation Corporation." The Trotwood CIC then makes these properties available to eligible buyers to rehabilitate and live-in, sell to a home buyer, or rent/lease.  The mission of this program is to encourage reinvestment into Trotwood's housing stock and create new, quality housing opportunities for families where a home was previously vacant.  Through doing this, we can welcome new residents to the City to support our businesses while increasing property values for current residents.

To learn more about buying homes in the program, contact us (937) 854-7214 or cdowning@trotwoodcic.org.

Become a Qualified Buyer

The Trotwood CIC sells distressed residential properties in need of full rehabilitation to both home buyers seeking to make this home their permanent residence and investors seeking to redevelop the neighborhood and provide quality housing opportunities for Trotwood residents.  All buyers must undergo an application process to verify eligibility and financial capacity to successfully complete the acquisition and rehabilitation of a property.  To get started to become an eligible buyer, complete the application below that best suites your purpose:

STRENGTHENING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
Housing Redevelopment

Since 2013, the Trotwood CIC has implemented a targeted housing program to alleviate our neighborhoods of vacancy and blight as a result of the Great Recession.  Since this time, this program has worked with home buyers and "Socially Responsible Developers" to rehabilitate many of these properties to create new housing opportunities in our community.
