Home Building Opportunity (HBO)

BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME

Building your dream home can be one of the most exciting and rewarding projects you can undertake. Getting the opportunity to plan out each step of the process and make the decisions about your building project is a big responsibility.  If you are in the market to build a home and looking for land, you may want to consider the Home Building Opportunity (HBO).  The HBO is a means for enrolled members of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, to obtain a Residential Land Lease for a vacant residential lot.

A good place to start the research for your home building project is to find out how much financing you will be able to obtain.  A pre-qualification letter from a financial institution is required at the time of application submission.

For additional information please contact the Housing at (920) 869-2227.

The HBO Standard Application period opens back up February 10th, 2023. Applicants can put in their application for any of the available lots left, on a first come first serve basis. No lottery will happen, the lot goes to whomever comes in and applies for the Lot first.
