Project Reclamation

Project Reclamation builds community assets while ending homelessness today.

The people we serve need access to deeply affordable, quality housing in their community.

BACS buys single-family homes, remodeling them to function as co-living environments where each person gets their own bedroom, lock, and key. Homes are often in the neighborhoods where residents grew up, preserving our community and preventing displacement.

Project Reclamation strengthens neighborhoods without disrupting nearby renters and homeowners.

We serve community members who would otherwise be unable to live independently due to complex physical or mental health issues, or other barriers like history of incarceration or homelessness.

Each resident is paired with a Care Coordinator who helps with their unique needs – job support, benefits assistance, mental health support, and money management. Rental incomes are fixed and significantly lower than average rent in the area, which covers operating expenses over time.

BACS’ Project Reclamation is the quickest way to get people into housing, by leveraging immediate housing resources in a region where 83% of residential real estate is single-family zoned. As a non-profit, we dedicate these houses in perpetuity to the local community as affordable housing.

BACS has been offering long-term housing services since 1973. Learn more about our ‘a house a year’ initiative, and be part of the solution.

John developed mental health issues at a young age, and even though he tried to succeed, he never felt functional. He developed depression, and self-medicated during a long spell of being unsheltered. BACS was able to find a place for John at one of our Housing Co-Ops, where John has lived for several years. He loves his housemates, and says that he finally feels stable and understood. John says “BACS’ unconditional support changed my outlook on life. I feel empowered to change my life for the better.”
