Habitat for Humanity's Homeownership Program Application Open

We believe in the power of affordable homeownership to change lives from the individual to the collective community and actively work to remove financial barriers and social inequalities to provide access to affordable homeownership opportunities for everyone.

Our homeownership application window will be open from September 18 through September 29, 2023. To receive or complete an application applicants must attend a Homeownership Information Meeting. This one-hour meeting is a requirement for being accepted into the program. This year's meeting dates and times are:

• Thursday, August 24, 2023 // 6 p.m. (English) // 7 p.m. (Spanish)

• Saturday, August 26, 2023 // 10:30 a.m. (English) // 11:30 a.m. (Spanish)

To qualify for our program, you must have a need for housing, have the ability to pay an affordable mortgage, and have a willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity.

Our homeownership program is about more than building new homes. When a qualified local family is in need of shelter, they may partner with Habitat to build and purchase a home right here in our community.
​
Buyers commit time, energy, and sweat equity volunteer hours to the construction of their homes. We further support our families by providing training on home maintenance and repair, financial literacy, and more. Mortgage payments from Monroe County Habitat homeowners are then returned to our community to build more affordable housing. That means more affordable homeownership opportunities for more people.
