The Local Property Urban Homesteading Demonstration

The Local Property Urban Homesteading Program (The Local Property Demonstration) was conducted in eleven cities from the spring of 1985 until the summer of 1987. The Local Property Demonstration provided these cities, for the first time, with cash to acquire 1-4 family properties for use in urban homesteading programs. In the regular Urban Homesteading Program (the regular program) cities may acquire properties only from the FHA, VA and FmHA inventories of 1-4 family properties.
