All applicants to become a Habitat Homeowner must follow all rules of the application process.

If your completed application meets the “ability to pay” and “need for housing,” you will be asked to schedule several meetings.
  1. Application information meeting at the Habitat office for a detailed explanation of our program.
  2. A home visit will be scheduled to determine your “need for housing.”
  3. An interview with one of our Family Selection Committee members will explain our program to you again and make sure you demonstrate a “willingness to partner.” At this time, you’ll be asked how you will be able to schedule the required volunteer hours.
  4. Orientation for partner families.

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development has online information guidelines to help you understand the home-buying and ownership process. Click here to access this information.

Habitat for Humanity International
Driven by the vision that everyone deserves a safe, healthy place to call home, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in over 1,000 communities throughout the U.S. and in over 70 countries.  In that time, more than 22 million people worldwide have partnered with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home.
