Anyone can apply to be a homeowner with Habitat.

Make a move toward homeownership: MOVE IN your own home and MOVE FORWARD with life.

When it comes to homeownership, it can feel more like a faraway dream than a real-life possibility for many people. We recognize that worrying about the lack of finances for a down payment, lending options, and the overwhelming expenses associated with upkeep are real concerns. Rather than continue the rental cycle and give up on your dreams of one day owning your own home, your dream can become a reality through the Habitat Home Ownership program.

At Habitat for Humanity, we meet you where you are to help you get to where you want to be. With the Habitat Home Ownership program, it is time to start moving in a home you can call yours and truly moving forward with life.

What does it mean to live unboxed?

At Habitat for Humanity, we thrive off seeing members of our community feel confident in reaching their dreams. Owning your own home can be a source of empowerment to make a change in your life and enjoy the possibilities of what life might hold and not be held down by limitations. We champion the small steps and the incredible impact that they have in the long term.

Living unboxed can look different for everyone, but it starts with feeling grounded and finding ways to grow. When we connected to our Habitat homeowners, and are happy to learn that are enjoying living unboxed:

What are the benefits of Habitat Home Ownership?

We believe that homeownership can help you build strength, and stability, and allow for more independence. Our program operates on the premise of learning to be grounded in your community to grow. Throughout the program, our Habitat homeowners get plugged in through volunteering and giving back to the community. At every step of your journey, we are committed to our homeowners and finding the right fit for your situation.

Moving in with the Habitat Home Ownership program can help give you a strong foundation to move forward in life the way you want to.
