How to Apply
Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity helps people become homeowners!
Here’s how it works:
The program accepts applications from people living in substandard housing that meet the income guidelines. We use a general guideline that is 30-50% of the median income.
The application is reviewed by the Family Selection Committee.
If the guidelines are met, a home visit is set up.
If accepted, the new “Future Homeowner” puts in a minimum of 200 hours of volunteer labor (sweat equity) to help build their home.
The Family purchases the home at cost through an affordable mortgage.
