Item 8.01.        Other Events
----------        ------------

Home Properties,  Inc. ("the Company") plans to file two registration statements
on Form S-3 with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  (SEC).  In connection
with the filing of these registration statements on Form S-3, we are filing this
current  report  on  Form  8-K  to  set  forth  audited  consolidated  financial
statements and certain other financial  information  originally  reported within
our Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,  2005  ("Annual
Report"), to reflect the reclassification of two properties from held for use to
properties held for sale during the three-month period ended March 31, 2006.

We are updating our previously issued Annual Report due to certain provisions of
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 144,  "Accounting  for  the
Impairment  or  Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets"  that  require us to report the
results  of  operations  of a  property  if it has either  been  disposed  or is
classified as held for sale in  discontinued  operations and meets certain other
criteria.   Accordingly,  the  Company  has  updated  its  audited  consolidated
financial  statements  for the  year  ended  December 31,  2005 to  reflect  the
reclassification  of two properties  that were disposed on April 5, 2006 as held
for sale and met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations in the
quarter  ending March 31, 2006.  The results of these two  properties,  acquired
during  2004,  are  classified  as held for  sale as of  December  31,  2005 and
reflected in  discontinued  operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004. This Current Report on Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7, 8 and 15 of our Annual
Report to reflect the discontinued operations,  where applicable. No information
other than that related to the discontinued  operations has been updated.  These
reclassifications  of  discontinued  operations  have no effect on the Company's
reported net income available to common shareholders,  financial condition, cash
flows or funds from operations as reported in prior SEC filings.  Also, there is
no effect to our previously issued audited consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2003.

Items 6, 7, 8 and 15 of our Annual Report are set forth on Exhibits 99.1,  99.2,
99.3 and 99.4 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. We
have not  modified  or updated  any other  disclosures  presented  in our Annual
Report. All other information in the Annual Report remains unchanged.
