Ownership and repairs
Homeownership development is a long-standing part of our work to support neighbors and our neighborhood. We provide a variety of homeownership and homeowner repair services for predominantly low-income (below 80% AMI) individuals and families.
Services and program activities include:
Homeownership Development
New construction or adaptive reuse of vacant properties for low-income and/or first-time home buyers.
Owner Occupied Repair
Homeowner repair for low-income existing owners with deferred maintenance or in dangerous situations.
Homeownership Assistance/Referrals
Consulting and referrals through numerous other housing partners including Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Partnership (INHP), Intend Indiana, and Habitat for Humanity.
Purchase a home on the Near Eastside
Englewood CDC focuses on the renovation and sales of historic homes within the Englewood neighborhood and the greater Near Eastside. Englewood CDC has developed or repaired close to 400 units across the Near Eastside.
Early in the organization’s history, Englewood CDC focused development on strategic blocks within the Englewood neighborhood; these vacant and abandoned homes have undergone full renovations and have been sold, encouraging new homeowners to locate and participate in the life of the neighborhood.

Community Land Trust
Englewood CDC is working in partnership with Kheprw Institute, NEAR, the City, and other entities to establish Indianapolis’ first Community Land Trust to preserve affordable housing across Indianapolis and provide more opportunities for low-income families and families of color to achieve homeownership. This tool, once deployed, will make a difference in assisting families now to buy a home and preserve that opportunity for low-income families in the future as well.
Visit Kheprw for more information on the CLT and how to get involved.
