Home Ownership– how to apply
Four fundamental criteria are used to determine who is selected to be a Habitat partner

• Willingness to Partner - The applicant agrees to complete 250 hours of sweat equity for each adult in the family and participate in the partnership program that may include financial counseling and household management education.
• Ability to Pay - The applicant's household income is between 30% and 60% of area’s median income based on family size. For example, income limits for a family of four is currently $ 30,330 to $40,440.  For a 20-25 year mortgage, a homeowner’s monthly housing expenses would be approximately $500 to $700 a month (includes mortgage payment, home insurance, property taxes, and utilities). 
• Residency - The applicant must be a family that has lived, worked or worshiped in the GSVAHFH area, which includes the towns of
