Process to becoming a homeowner

 Habitat homeowners must be active participants in building a better home and future for themselves and their families. Every Habitat home is an investment. For us, it is one answer to a critical need, and we believe that stronger homes will create stronger communities.

• Prospective Habitat homeowners must demonstrate a need for safe, affordable housing. Need will vary from community to community.
• Once selected, Habitat homeowners must partner with us throughout the process. This partnership includes performing “sweat equity,” or helping to build their own home or the homes of others in our homeownership program. Sweat equity can also include taking homeownership classes or performing volunteer work in a Habitat ReStore.
• Homeowners must also be able and willing to pay an affordable mortgage. Mortgage payments are cycled back into the community to help build additional Habitat houses.

 Yes. Habitat follows a nondiscriminatory policy of home buyer selection. Neither race nor religion is a factor.
