Outstanding
opportunities are afforded to families who apply and qualify for entrance into
the homeownership program. Twenty homes scattered throughout most neighborhoods
in the Battle Creek area rented to qualified families with an option to
purchase that is exercised at the option of the resident family. Residents must
be employed and/or have a continuing source of income and remain employed
throughout their rental item. Two, three and four bedroom units are available.
All homes were constructed since 1990. Residents are responsible for all
utilities and agree to perform all routine and non-routine maintenance. One
hundred eighty of these homes have already been converted from rental to
homeownership by the resident families and this has proven to be a very
successful program.
