Homeownership

Paint Rollers in Green, Red, Orange and Blue

Overview

Habitat for Humanity offers low-income families the opportunity to own a home. Becoming a Habitat homeowner requires commitment, responsibility and deep involvement.

In order to partner with us, you must meet the following preliminary criteria:

  1. You must be a Legal Permanent Resident of the United States.
  2. You must have lived or worked in our county for at least 12 months. Affiliates for other vicinities can be found at habitat.org.
  3. Your yearly income must fall within our income guidelines, which are adjusted for family size (refer to Income Table on the Selection Criteria page). Income includes wages, Social Security, disability, SSI, TANF and child support.
  4. You must have one year of continuous income.
  5. You must have a reasonably good credit history. It must be at least two years since you discharged any bankruptcies, and you must be making payments on your debts.
  6. You must have a need for housing because your current housing is unaffordable, unsafe, or overcrowded.
  7. You must partner with Habitat for Humanity and contribute "sweat equity," helping to build your home as well as other families' homes, and attend a minimum of 10 educational workshops. All families must complete a total of 250 hours.

If you meet these criteria, then please follow the application process for more information and to provide your contact information to be notified to attend one of our Applicant Orientation meetings.  Our next planned Applicant Orientation meeting is anticipated in early 2024.

Includes house build on Aspen Street and smaller projects fixing local houses.
