What bringithome inc. does

Bring It Home, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015 and headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas, whose mission is to promote the physical, emotional, and social health of individuals, families, and communities through housing development. The organization operates as a hybrid housing developer, with programs spanning workforce housing, mixed-income developments, supportive housing (including veteran housing at Freedom Springs), and a flagship Community Land Trust program branded BIHCLT.

The BIHCLT program is a shared-equity homeownership model in which the nonprofit retains ownership of the underlying land while selling the improvements to income-qualified buyers at below-market prices. Homes are priced so that buyers at or below 80% of Area Median Income spend no more than 30% of income on housing; The Hideaway Cottage Court development in Downtown Springdale, AR lists homes at approximately $160,000 against a $250,000 appraised value, with zero down payment, no PMI, and a 25% appreciation resale formula that preserves affordability for future qualified buyers. The applicant pipeline is operationalized through a stack of SaaS tools: Keela for application intake, Microsoft Teams for virtual orientations, Matterport for 3D property tours, Zillow for public listings, and mandatory Freddie Mac CreditSmart or Fannie Mae HomeView education for buyer certification.

Revenue mechanics rely on a combination of home sale proceeds under the CLT model and charitable donations, including an annual NWA Gives Day campaign. The organization is small (1-10 employees), privately held as a nonprofit, and claims national scope on its website while maintaining operational density in the Northwest Arkansas MSA. First homes under BIHCLT only became available in early 2026, making the organization effectively at the start of its first productized revenue cycle.

Core offering

Bring It Home operates the Bring It Home Community Land Trust (BIHCLT), a nonprofit shared-equity homeownership program that retains ownership of the land while selling homes at below-market prices to income-qualified buyers earning at or below 80% of Area Median Income. Homes are resold using a 25% appreciation formula to keep them permanently affordable for successive income-qualified buyers. The current inventory is anchored by The Hideaway Cottage Court, a 10-unit development in Downtown Springdale, Arkansas, with homes priced at approximately $160,000 versus a $250,000 appraised value, $0 down payment, no PMI, and estimated monthly costs of about $1,371.

Product overview

Bring It Home operates a single unified product: the Bring It Home Community Land Trust (BIHCLT) program. This shared-equity homeownership model combines land ownership retention by the nonprofit with fee-simple sale of homes to income-qualified buyers. The core portfolio includes The Hideaway Cottage Court development (10 units in Downtown Springdale, AR), with homes priced approximately 36% below appraised value ($160K vs $250K). The program integrates CLT Virtual Orientations via Microsoft Teams and uses a 25% Appreciation Resale Formula to enable wealth-building while maintaining long-term affordability. Applications are processed online through the Keela platform with mandatory homebuyer education (Freddie Mac CreditSmart or Fannie Mae HomeView).
