Applying runs through the affiliate's homeownership program after confirming the income and partnership requirements. Selection follows the standard Habitat criteria of need, ability to pay, and willingness to partner.
Families then complete their 350 volunteer hours, attend financial literacy classes, and provide a modest down payment on the path to closing.
