HUD’s Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) program offers eligible full-time law enforcement officers, pre-K through grade 12 teachers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians a way to purchase certain HUD-owned homes. Eligibility, location and property availability restrictions apply.
Discount and Occupancy Requirements
Eligible buyers may receive a 50% discount on designated HUD-owned homes in revitalization areas. They must occupy the home as their principal residence for 36 months and sign a second mortgage for the discount; HUD requires annual occupancy certification. Qualified professionals—including law enforcement officers, teachers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians—can buy HUD-owned homes in revitalization areas at a fraction of the cost. It’s a chance to secure your slice of the American dream without breaking the bank.
Financing and Prior Ownership
The $100 down payment applies when an eligible GNND purchase uses qualifying FHA-insured financing; it is not a universal down payment for every loan. Financing approval and other transaction costs still require review. Neither the buyer nor their spouse may have owned other residential property during the 12 months before the offer or at the time of the offer.
Investing in Community, Building a Better Tomorrow
More than just a homeownership program, GNND is a catalyst for positive change in our communities. The program fosters neighborhood stability, economic growth, and community empowerment by encouraging participants to live and invest in revitalization areas. It’s a chance to make a meaningful impact and be a part of something greater than yourself—a true testament to the power of collective action and community engagement.
Partnering for Success
Ask a HUD-registered real estate broker about eligible listings. Available homes are limited, and competing offers may be resolved by lottery. Review HUD’s current Good Neighbor Next Door guidance and discuss financing with your mortgage broker.

In a world where affordable housing seems out of reach for many, the GNND program stands as a beacon of hope and possibility.
