Home Ownership
Our mission is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
To carry out our mission, we partner with qualified individuals and families beginning with an orientation session, an application process followed by a series of activities leading up to the build of their new home.
Habitat's path to homeownership is an important and in-depth process, requiring hard work, time and dedication.
By working with us from beginning to end, we help prospective homeowners prepare for the various responsibilities of homeownership, including learning about personal finances, mortgages, the upkeep of a home, and much more.
