Be a Part of the Habitat Family
Habitat for Humanity is a Christian housing program that is dedicated to making sure that everyone has a simple, decent place to live. Habitat helps each partner family build a home, and then sells the home to the family with no interest. Habitat for Humanity makes no profit from the homes that it builds.
Family Selection Criteria
All applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, handicap, family status, or national origin. There are three basic criteria which Habitat uses to select partner families: Need, Ability to Pay, and Willingness to Partner.
Need
In order to qualify for Habitat housing, the applicant’s current housing situation must be unacceptable due to concerns for health or safety, overcrowding, and/or affordability. This will be carefully examined when selecting families, as Habitat wants all people to have safe, decent, and affordable homes.
Ability to Pay
Applicants must meet income guidelines to obtain a Habitat House.
Partnering With Habitat
Habitat partner families must contribute a number of hours of “sweat equity” towards the construction of their home. This means that you must be on the construction work site or doing other approved work for Habitat.
