Need for Better Housing

Potential homebuyers might be dealing with poorly built, unhealthy, damaged or inadequate housing. Alternatively, you might have a rent or mortgage that you cannot afford, or may be living in a home that is inaccessible for your disabilities.

Willingness To Partner

Our homebuyers put in hundreds of hours of “sweat equity,” which means they help build their own home and the homes of others in the Habitat for Humanity house building program, or volunteer at a Habitat ReStore.

Ability to Pay

Habitat homebuyers must be able to demonstrate that they can pay an affordable mortgage. Applicants overall financial wellness is taken into consideration by our Homeowner Selection Committee.
