Huntington City, County Launch Hoosier Homes Program

A New Era in Homeownership and Housing Expansion

HUNTINGTON COUNTY, Ind. (February 15, 2024) – Huntington and Huntington County are proud to announce the successful completion of a comprehensive housing strategy aimed at significantly expanding the production of new housing units in all parts of the county. In a groundbreaking initiative, we are launching the Hoosier Homes homebuyer assistance program, in partnership with Club 720, to empower a new generation of homeowners.

This innovative program is specifically designed to address the unique challenges faced by millennials, who represent approximately 70 percent to 75 percent of potential homebuyers in our communities. Many millennials are hindered by college debt, which delays their ability to save for a down payment. Hoosier Homes aims to bridge this gap by providing essential down payment assistance and resources.

Expanding Housing Options

Our newly developed housing strategy is set to catalyze the production of diverse housing units, catering to the varied needs and preferences of our growing community. This expansion is not just about building homes, but about nurturing a thriving, vibrant community where everyone has the opportunity to own a home.

Connecting Buyers and Builders

Club 720 serves as a critical link between the emerging housing production pipeline and a growing pool of ready buyers. By leveraging Club 720's innovative platform, we aim to seamlessly connect homebuyers with realtors, banks, and builders, creating a cohesive ecosystem that supports both supply and demand sides of the housing market.

A Call to Action for Collaborators

We invite realtors, banks, builders, and other stakeholders to join this exciting journey. Your collaboration with Club 720 will not only help serve a multitude of interested buyers but also play a key role in the success of our community's housing strategy.
