About this resource

Habitat for Humanity offers families the chance to construct and purchase their own homes at no profit.

Intake Procedure: Contact for details.

Fees: Families must cover a closing fee of up to $1000. There is a 0% down payment required for closing costs and a mortgage with 0% interest (0% APR). The duration of the mortgage varies based on income; Habitat adjusts it to ensure that the monthly payment, which includes taxes, insurance, and any applicable condo fees, does not exceed 30% of the homeowner's gross monthly income at the time of sale.
