Anyone who meets the requirements found on our "Become a Homeowner" information page on this website and has lived in LaPorte County for at least one year.
The application is a two step process. A short two page application starts the process. Once this is completed and it is found you meet the minimum requirements, you will be contacted to meet with a member of the Partner Family Screening Committee to complete a more detailed application and interview process.
Upon completion of your home it will be deeded to you. Your mortgage will be the total cost Habitat has invested in your home. Payments will be monthly over 20 years with no interest. (Approximately $350-$375 per month which includes an escrow payment for your taxes and insurance.)
The application process could take 3 to 4 months before you are notified. If you do not meet the minimum requirements you will be notified early in the process.
