Application process for the Mortgage-Ready Pathway:

Step 1: Determine if You're Ready

1. General Requirements
  • Must live or work in the Denver Metro area (Arapahoe, Adams, Denver, Douglas, or Jefferson)

  • Must be employed for a minimum of 24 months

  • Must be a first-time homebuyer*

  • Must not be a registered sex offender

  • Must provide proof of U.S. citizenship or residency status

2. Financial Requirements

Habitat for Humanity does not act as the lender in the Mortgage-Ready pathway. While lending criteria can vary between institutions, here are some factors that can help demonstrate responsible financial behavior:

  • On-time and consistent credit and bill-paying history
  • A credit score of 620 or higher
  • A savings reserve
  • Little to no debt in collections
  • No bankruptcies, or at least 36 months have passed since the bankruptcy was discharged
3. Income Requirements

To purchase a Habitat home, you must make less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).

Your income level is based on your household size. To qualify for a Habitat home, you must make less than the amount listed below for your household size:

  • 1 Person Household – $72,950
  • 2 Person Household – $83,400
  • 3 Person Household – $93,800
  • 4 Person Household – $104,200
  • 5 Person Household – $112,550

Il s'agit des revenus maximums autorisés pour les ménages. Bien que ces chiffres représentent les tailles de ménage les plus courantes, Habitat Metro Denver accueille des ménages allant jusqu'à 10 personnes lorsque des logements sont disponibles.

Step 2: View Homes for Sale
