Welcome to New Development Corporation

We’re a Grand Rapids nonprofit committed to helping people with modest incomes buy homes they love, and helping existing homeowners make important improvements for energy efficiency and sustainability.

We buy houses in Grand Rapids that have become vacant or deteriorated, renovate them to like-new condition, and sell them at a reasonable price to eligible buyers. We also seek to empower our clients in their experience of homebuying through education and neighborhood inclusion.

Interested? You’ll find everything you need to know here on our site.

Learn how to apply to buy one of our homes. See before and after photos that show the stunning difference hard work and passion can make. Read about the home-buying process, and how we’ll be with you, every step of the way.

We all know that a house isn’t just a house. It’s a haven.

Want to know more? Just ask us.

We’d love to welcome you to the neighborhood.
