Thanksgiving Homes

Welcome to Thanksgiving Homes

Thanksgiving Homes was the first CCHA initiative to focus on single-family housing rentals and sales. This innovative concept identifies moderately priced, typically infill lots, many that have become problematic over time. Thanksgiving Homes has developed a proven model to turn these challenging infill lots into opportunities for many who thought home ownership was not an option.

Thanksgiving Homes has evolved with the needs of our city and continues to look at the needs of our region and address them. We hope that the placement of these new homes will help revitalize old neighborhoods and in turn minimize the housing shortage.
