For more information about the resale process and equity share requirements, please contact the City Ventures Sales Team.
7. What if my household size does not meet the stated household size requirements?
If a home is designated for a particular household size range, applicants whose household size falls outside of that range may not be eligible for that home.
We encourage interested buyers to contact our team to discuss their household size and determine whether they may qualify for current or future affordable housing opportunities.

The timeline varies depending on each buyer's individual circumstances. We encourage you to contact our Sales Team to discuss your situation and learn what to expect.
