Homeownership
Thank you for your interest in becoming a homeowner!
Our homeownership program empowers working individuals and families to build and buy their own homes. We partner with our future homeowners every step of the way, and provide the education and support needed to become successful homeowners.
Is homeownership with Habitat right for you?
Habitat selects future homeowners for our homeownership program through three sets of criteria.
Before you apply, make sure you have:
Need for housing
We partner with families who have low to moderate incomes, and who experience crowding, expensive rent, or unsafe conditions in their current housing.
Willingness to partner
All Habitat homeowners attend homebuyer education courses and invest sweat equity to help build homes.
Ability to pay
Future homeowners will pay affordable mortgage payments that are around 30% of their gross monthly income.
