What is Habitat looking for in a successful applicant?
Need of a home. The current living arrangement might be unsafe, overcrowded, or too expensive, or they might simply want to exchange renting for owning a home of their own.
Ability to pay. Habitat homeowners receive a low or no-interest mortgage. Monthly payments are $400 to $450 – less than many people’s rental payments!
Ability to pay includes working at the same job for at least one year and having good or repairable credit. Applicants who have filed bankruptcy within the last year or have an outstanding judgment are not eligible.
Willingness to partner. Habitat homeowners must perform 350 hours of “sweat equity” work before they move into their new home,. This work is usually helping to build their own home and/or the home of another family, but could include working in the office or one of the ReStores.
There are other factors that influence the decision whether or not to approve an applicant.
For more information call the Habitat office at 463-3770.
