HIP started purchasing, rehabilitating and selling single family homes to low-to-moderate income first-time buyers in Prince Georges County in 1998. These previously vacant and dilapidated properties in inner-Beltway neighborhoods all receive new kitchens, bathrooms, porches with brightly colored front and back doors, fencing and a variety of other green, energy-efficient features.
All buyers of HIP Homes are required to complete one-on-one pre-purchase counseling and intensive financial capability coaching to ensure they are fully prepared to embrace the challenges and responsibilities that come with homeownership.
