     This supplement no. 3 supplements  and amends  supplement no. 2, dated June
22, 2007,  supplement no. 1, dated May 10, 2007,  prospectus  supplement,  dated
April 23, 2007,  and the  Prospectus,  dated April 4, 2007, of Home  Properties,
Inc. (which we refer to collectively as the prospectus).

     The  prospectus  and this  supplement no. 3 relate to the sale from
time to time by  certain  selling  securities  holders  of common  stock of Home
Properties,  Inc.  (referred to as "Home Properties," "we" or "us") which may be
issued, at our option, upon exchange of the 4.125% Senior Exchangeable Notes due
2026,  issued by our subsidiary Home Properties,  L.P. and guaranteed by us. The
notes may,  under  certain  circumstances,  be  exchanged  for the lesser of the
exchange value and the principal amount of the notes and, at our option, cash or
shares of Home Properties'  common stock for the exchange value in excess of the
principal  amount of the notes. The exchange value will be based on the exchange
rate and the then-trading  price of the common shares. The initial exchange rate
is  subject  to  adjustment  in  certain  circumstances.  The  number  of shares
registered  under the  prospectus  and this  supplement  no. 3 assumes  that the
initial  exchange rate has been  adjusted to the maximum  provided for under the
indenture pursuant to which the notes were issued ($16.0901 shares per $1,000).


     We will not receive any of the  proceeds of any sale of our common stock by
any selling securities holder. Our registration of the common stock and issuance
of the  prospectus  and this  supplement  no. 3 with  respect  thereto  does not
necessarily mean that the holders of the notes will exchange them or, if they do
exchange them,  that the exchange value will exceed the principal  amount of the
notes; that we will elect to pay any such excess with shares of common stock; or
that the selling securities holders will elect to sell any such shares.


     This supplement no. 3 supplements  information contained in the prospectus.
This supplement no. 3 should be read in conjunction with the prospectus,  and is
qualified by reference to the prospectus.  This supplement no. 3 is not complete
without,  and may  only  be  delivered  or  utilized  in  connection  with,  the
prospectus,  including any amendments or supplements thereto. The prospectus and
this  supplement no. 3 form a part of a registration  statement filed by us with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.


     NEITHER THE  SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  NOR ANY STATE  SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR  DISAPPROVED  OF THESE  SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE
ADEQUACY  OR  ACCURACY  OF  THIS  SUPPLEMENT  NO.  3  OR  THE  PROSPECTUS.   ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

                           SELLING SECURITIES HOLDERS


The selling  securities holders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to
the prospectus and this Supplement No. 3 any and all of the shares of our common
stock  issuable upon exchange of the notes.  Our  registration  of the shares of
common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes does not necessarily  mean that
the holders of the notes will exchange them or, if they do exchange  them,  that
the exchange value will exceed the principal  amount of the notes;  that we will
elect to pay any such excess with  shares of common  stock;  or that the selling
securities  holders  will elect to sell any such shares of common stock they may
receive upon an exchange. In connection with the offer and sale of the notes, we
agreed to register the shares of common stock for resale by the holders. We will
not receive any of the  proceeds of any sale of our common  stock by any selling
securities holder.


     The information set forth in the following table is based upon  information
provided by or on behalf of the named selling  securities holders received on or
prior to August 1, 2007, and  supplements  and amends the table set forth in the
prospectus under the heading "Selling  Securities  Holders." The information set
forth below is subject to the  qualifications  and  limitations set forth in the
prospectus,  including that selling securities holders identified below may have
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their notes since
the date on which they provided the  information  to us in  transactions  exempt
from the registration  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. No notes have
been exchanged as of the date of this  prospectus  supplement.  We may determine
not to issue shares of common stock in exchange for notes  tendered for exchange
and,  instead,  pay the excess, if any, of the exchange price over the principal
amount of the exchanged notes in cash. The selling  securities holders may offer
all, some or none of the common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes.


     We have assumed for purposes of the table below that the selling securities
holders will  exchange  all of their notes,  that we will issue shares of common
stock for the  excess of the  exchange  value over the  principal  amount of the
note,  that the exchange  value is the maximum  provided for under the indenture
(16.0901 per $1,000),  and that the selling  securities holders will sell all of
such  shares  of  common  stock  pursuant  to  this  supplement  no. 3  and  the
prospectus.  We have also  assumed  that any other  shares of our  common  stock
beneficially  owned  by the  selling  securities  holders  will  continue  to be
beneficially owned.


     The  percentage  of  common  stock   beneficially  owned  by  each  selling
securities  holder is based on 33,528,222  shares of common stock outstanding as
of June 30, 2007. Based upon the information  provided by the selling securities
holders, none of the selling securities holders named below would, upon issuance
of the maximum  number of shares  issuable upon exchange of the notes,  holds in
excess of 1% of our outstanding common stock.


     To our knowledge, none of the selling securities holders has, or within the
past three years has had, any position,  office or other  material  relationship
with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates.
