Baltimore, Maryland, city officials approved a program that would sell city-owned vacant homes for next to nothing at $1 for some applicable residents.
According to the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), the Fixed Pricing Program was created to combat the more than 13,500 homes in Baltimore that are vacant.
City officials said Tuesday that just over 200 homes are currently in the program.
According to the DHCD, the homes would only be sold to individuals who are willing to invest their money in fixing the dilapidated homes.
Applicants must provide proof that they have at least $90,000 to complete a renovation, as well as pass through an application vetting process.
Interested parties can apply beginning April 1.
