Applications are reviewed and a home interview will be scheduled if the applicant meets the initial qualifications. The Homebuyer Selection Committee, comprised of volunteers, conducts the home visit and determine which applicants qualify.

The total household income must fall within 35-80% of the median household income range given in the qualification income limit chart above.

We will ask a homebuyer applicant to submit financial documentation to us. Once this has been submitted, we will verify employment, check credit and make an assessment as to whether Habitat is an appropriate program for you. You are not required to have perfect credit, but B/CS Habitat must ensure that payments are being made. B/CS Habitat does not check your credit score - we use the details of the report to determine your outstanding debts (not including medical debts) and the payments you are making.

Following approval by B/CS Habitat's Board of Directors, the future homeowner must complete 250 hours (per adult) of sweat equity before being able to purchase the home. Your friends and family may also help work toward your hours. Sweat equity hours can be completed on our construction sites, in the office, or at our retail store.

In addition to sweat equity hours and homeowner classes, we ask homeowners to share their stories. We occasionally ask homeowners to talk about their experiences in the program or be featured in the media, but we always respect your privacy and wishes. At Habitat, we build community by asking you to meet neighbors, get involved in Homeowners' Associations and become a true partner to our program.
