Applying for Homeownership
"Partner family" is the term Habitat uses for the family they are building a home. Partner is an essential word in Habitat language. It means we are in this together, and together we will build you a home and give you a hand-up, not a hand-out.
To become a partner family, the family must complete an application for review by the Family Selection Committee. The Family Selection Committee evaluates your need for housing, evaluates your financial situation, makes credit checks and conducts in-home interviews. Qualifications for becoming a partner family include:
- Continuous residency of Kosciusko County for two years
- Need for adequate shelter as determined by Habitat
- Ability to pay for a Habitat home
- Willingness to partner with Habitat
