Habitat Homeowners are selected by our Family Selection Committee through an application process. After applications are submitted, the Family Selection Committee processes the applications by reviewing, calculating and verifying all information given.  The committee will recommend eligible applicants for an in-home visit in order to learn more about their present housing situation. The Selection Committee then determines if the applicant is approved or declined for the program. 

Please Note: Selection dates are subject to change or cancellation depending on the prior selection round, land availability, sponsorship and other events beyond our control. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
