What Happens After I Complete The Application?

What Happens After I Complete My Application

You will be asked to sign an Authorization to Release form that will be used to request statements and references from your bank, landlord, employer, social service agencies, credit reports, etc.. When all documents have been received, a home visit will be done by a Family Selection Committee Representative. Your file will be reviewed by the Family Selection Committee for recommendation to the Board of Directors for final approval as a Habitat Homeowner. You will be notified in writing regarding the board's decision, and if selected, we will schedule an appointment to meet with the Habitat representatives who will outline the next step(s) in the homeowner process. It takes approximately 3-6 months from time of application until the final board vote takes place.

What About Closing Cost And Down Payments?

You will be given the option of paying any closing costs or down payment expenses at the time of closing or including the expenses in the total amount of your home's monthly mortgage payments

How Long Before I Move Into My Habitat Home?

The time between selection and move-in varies, but typically is about one to two years. A Habitat homeowner is not assigned a house location until they have completed their sweat equity hours. Move-In does not take place until all construction and inspections are done, and a dedication ceremony is held, where you are presented with the keys to your new Habitat Home

Do I Have A Say In Where My House Will Be Built?

Habitat homes are built at locations made available to us either as donations or where we are able to purchase land at a cost within your home budget. You will be given a choice of properties to the extent possible, but there is no guarantee you will be able to choose your home's location.
