Homeownership

7.20.2017 - Amelia-Dominic-Serenity at t

Habitat home ownership is a hand up, not a handout

 

We believe in the positive power of affordable home ownership. Owning a home is an excellent way to put down roots in a community, to have a healthy place to live that you can call your own, and to provide your family with strength, self-reliance, and stability.

HFHWRA offers affordable home ownership by partnering with the community to build quality, energy efficient homes using as much donated labor and materials as possible. We then sell the homes to qualified applicants with zero-interest mortgages and affordable monthly payments based on income.

Our 2025 Application Cycle is NOW CLOSED
