Housing Application Process

Eligibility

  2. Ability to pay.  Can you pay a small monthly mortgage payment?  Do you have a good credit record and good budget habits?  Does your family income fit the guidelines below?
  3. Willingness to partner.  Can you, along with friends and family, do 350 hours of sweat equity?
