Acquisition Rehabs In collaboration with community partners, home sponsors and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Habitat for Humanity acquires foreclosed, abandoned, and current low-cost housing stock as part of our investment in revitalizing entire neighborhoods. Habitat is able to rehabilitate empty houses into simple, decent homes for qualified low-income families.
