Today, the Detroit Land Bank (DLBA) and community partners celebrate another successful summer exit of the DLBA’s Occupied Buy Back Program. 

In 2024, 88 Detroiters who had a documented connection to a Land Bank owned home completed the program and officially became homeowners.

Through a year of financial counseling, homeowner workshops, and saving toward property taxes, participants gained the tools and support needed for long-term stability.

Since 2016, more than 1,300 Detroiters have successfully exited the Buy Back program and received the deeds to their homes, transforming once uncertain housing into lasting opportunities.
