Step 1: Evaluate your eligibility and readiness.
Habitat homeowners help build or repair their homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. To qualify, applicants must meet general eligibility requirements and have a need, the ability to pay, and a willingness to partner. For the 2020 income guidelines and other requirements, review Habitat’s program selection criteria. Note the expanded eligibility guidelines in 2020 for veterans and teachers. Applicants can evaluate their readiness for homeownership by completing the self-assessment.

Step 2: Get an application.
Applications are available from Monday, June 29, 2020, through Friday, July 31, 2020. Though new protocols will be in place this year to limit personal contact during the application process, there are multiple ways to receive an application.
