Build to Rent to Own (B2R2O) is a nonprofit housing initiative creating a pathway to homeownership for the teachers, nurses, and first responders who keep Collier County running.
We develop dignified, new-build housing — not retrofits or hand-me-downs. Quality homes designed for lasting value.
A structured 3-year program that turns renters into owners through savings, financial literacy, and affordable pricing.
Philanthropic grants are returned as homes sell, recycling donor capital into future projects. Impact that compounds.
In Collier County, the median home price exceeds $500,000 — while a starting teacher earns $57,000. That's a nearly 9-to-1 ratio that puts homeownership out of reach for the essential workers our community depends on every day.
Most housing programs stop at rentals. But renting offers no path to wealth, no generational stability, and no real stake in the community. B2R2O is building something different — a bridge from renting to owning, designed for the workforce families who keep Collier County running.
36 new townhomes on Golden Gate Parkway — creating affordable homeownership for workforce families in the heart of Collier County.
Whether you're a philanthropist, employer, or community partner — there's a role for you in making workforce homeownership a reality in Collier County.
