Do you know someone that would be a potential Habitat Homeowner?  TriState Habitat for Humanity is in search of Partner Families in our service area.  Habitat works specifically with low and very low-income families. A typical family earns a minimum of $20,000.00 to $23,000.00 per year.We work with families of all races, religions and creeds.
There are three principal requirements: housing need, ability to pay and willingness to partner with Habitat. The need for a decent house is the most important criteria in the selection of a family. Only families who cannot purchase a house through conventional means are considered. A family must be able to meet the financial obligations of homeownership. They must be willing to partner with Habitat by attending the financial management and home maintenance workshops and keeping their mortgage payments current. In addition, the family must complete the required hours of work (sweat equity) on their home, other Habitat projects or community projects. The family enters into a zero-interest mortgage, usually for a 20-25 year period, for the cost of the house. As the payments are made, they are re-invested in building other Habitat homes
