Our home-ownership program provides opportunities for low-income individuals and families to increase their independence and economic well-being through affordable home-ownership. You can help us spread the word about our program and share some of the details about home-ownership through Habitat:

Work that may be provided includes:
Habitat will pay all costs for materials and AIP work as a GRANT TO YOU, but a restriction will be placed on the deed of your home. You will not have to repay the grant unless you sell or transfer ownership of your home within 5 years after AIP work is completed. If you continue to live in your home for 5 years after work is completed and follow all grant terms, your balance is reduced to ZERO, and you owe nothing. The grant restriction is forgiven at a rate of 20% per year. You will also need to participate in post-project surveying at 2 months, 1 year, and 3 years after work has been completed.
