<div align='center'>**ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND GOVERNANCE**</div>

In October 2022, we launched an Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance Initiative, including the appointment of an internal Corporate Responsibility Committee comprised of key members of management and other key employees, in support of the Company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, health and safety, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, and other public policy matters relevant to the Company. Our Corporate Responsibility Committee Charter is available on our website at www.bluerock.com/bluerock-homes-trust/governance-documents.

#### Environmental Sustainability
We share our investors’ concerns for the environment and continue to participate in a variety of environmental sustainability initiatives, such as energy monitoring and preservation, water conservation and waste reduction, and recycling. Our investment model, from site selection through development and operations, incorporates an evaluation of multiple environmental impacts and their inclusion in our projections upon acquisition. This affords us the functional and financial flexibility to develop, or retrofit, properties that operate responsibly in a changing environment, generating a continually replenishing opportunity to improve the environmental impact of older, less sustainable properties throughout the United States, while our ground-up developments incorporate environmentally sound principles from their inception. To reflect our commitment to reducing our environmental impact, in October 2022 we adopted an Environmental Sustainability Policy, which is available on our website at www.bluerock.com/bluerock-homes-trust/governance-documents.

In keeping with our Environmental Sustainability Policy, we undertake a variety of environmental sustainability initiatives, including the installation of energy- and water-conserving fixtures at many of our upgraded properties. Our value-add investment model generates a continually-replenishing opportunity for us to improve the environmental impact of older, less sustainable properties throughout the U.S., while our ground-up, build-to-rent developments incorporate environmentally sound principles from inception. Our due diligence process incorporates evaluation of environmental impacts, which are factored into our projections for acquisition or investment, affording us the functional and financial flexibility to develop or retrofit homes
