Homeownership
How do I qualify?
Working in partnership with local families,
Habitat creates opportunities for homeownership.
​
Future Habitat homeowners are active participants in the homebuilding and home buying process. The foundation of our unique program is working in partnership with families seeking the strength, stability, and independence that homeownership provides. Habitat homeowners build and buy their very own homes, creating brighter futures for themselves and their families.
