At the University of Alabama at Birmingham, we understand that the continued success of our institution is linked to that of the surrounding community. That's why UAB leads Alabama universities in assisting employees with home purchases through the Blazer Home Neighborhood Living Initiative.

Blazer Home offers assistance to full-time, benefits-eligible faculty and staff purchasing a primary residence in designated areas of the Titusville neighborhood in Birmingham. The five-year conditional grants, funded by the UAB Educational Foundation, may be used for a down payment and/or closing costs for the purchase of a home in the incentive zone.
