Our Habitat Homeowners
To become a Habitat homeowner a family
must complete an application and pass a family selection process.
Applications are taken at an annual Application Meeting. We select
prospective homeowners on the basis of need, ability to pay for their
house, and willingness to partner with Habitat. Habitat offers a
"hand up", not a "hand out". Each prospective
homeowner must invest 500 hours of "sweat equity" labor in
building his/her own home or another Habitat house. He/she must
pay a small down payment when his/her house is completed and must
faithfully make his/her monthly mortgage payments thereafter.
Prolonged failure to meet this financial obligation may result in loss
of a house.
Our program consists entirely of
building homes with and for deserving needy families. A part of
our ministry is to continue to support and mentor them in their new
roles as homeowners and taxpayers as long as needed. We counsel
homeowners in legal, financial, and practical aspects of homeownership.
