PLEASE NOTE
Habitat builds approximately 4-6 houses per year and only two homes at a time, which means the list moves slow. Many people do not qualify due to credit and income issues – make sure you are competitive by following the steps and instructions below.

Do I Qualify?

There are many guidelines. At minimum, you must meet the following.

Have stable income and rental history

Meet the credit guidelines

This includes paying off all collections, judgments, and repossessions appearing on a credit report.

Be a first time home buyer

Consent to a background, sex offender, and credit check

Be willing to partner

Applicants will need to do Sweat Equity -a minimum of 350 hours of volunteer work- on their home.
