The City of Fort Wayne Office of Housing and Neighborhood Services is currently developing a strategy for properties acquired through the Blight Elimination Program. Once the strategy and process is developed, we will provide information to residents and interested parties through the media, social media (@CityofFortWayne), on our website, www.FWCommunityDevelopment.org, and in our newsletter (available by joining our mailing list on the website).
Our priorities for the re-use of these properties include, in this order:
1) redevelopment of the site, possibly with a new home
2) use by a non-profit organization
3) deeding to an adjacent property owner.

You will be placed on a list to contact when the disposition strategy is determined. However, placing your name on the list does not give you preference for acquiring a property.
