Partner Families

Families that are selected to receive a Habitat house enter into a "partnership" with Habitat in several ways:

  1. They must contribute a predetermined number of "sweat equity hours" on their house or other Habitat houses.
  2. They assume a "no-interest, no down payment" mortgage (held by Habitat) based on the cost of building their home ... and to that end they must exhibit a good work record, meet Habitat's income requirements and show the ability to budget and pay bills on time.
  3. They must be willing to learn about home ownership ... the costs and responsibilities ... and become a good neighbor in their community.
