Want to Own a Habitat Home?

Habitat is a hand up, not a hand-out. Each homeowner family is required to invest "sweat equity" hours into the construction of their (or others) home. We call our homeowners partner families because we work in a partnership with each of them. If you are interested in owning one of our homes please click on the links below for more information, eligibility requirements and application forms. We look forward to working with you and your family!
