Family selection

How are partner Habitat families selected?

 

Applicant families must be local residents for at least one year in Calaveras County, living in substandard housing or crowded living conditions and in need of decent shelter before they can apply to Habitat for Humanity, Calaveras.  ABWK applicants must own the home they are requesting help repairing or repainting.

 

HfHC  family selection committee chooses homeowners based on their level of need, their willingness to become partners in the program and their ability to repay the mortgage loan or any non-donated cost associated with the ABWK repairs. HfHC follows a nondiscriminatory policy for family selection. Neither race nor religion is a factor in choosing the families who receive Habitat houses.

Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest 400 hours of their own labor (sweat equity) into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.

 

Applicants must be financially able to make regular house payments on a low-cost, no-interest mortgage.

 

Well before we start to build another home, we put out the word for anyone interested in qualifying for the home to send us an application. Watch the local newspapers or visit this website for announcements.

 

Applicants may also e-mail or phone our office to be placed on a mailing list. They will be notified when the application period opens once again.

To help the United States Government fight terrorism and money laundering, U.S. Federal law requires us to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person/entity that applies for a mortgage or conducts financial business with HfHC.

During this process, HfHC may verify your identity using commercially available databases containing information from public records, financial institutions and consumer reporting agencies.  We do not sell or share information with other businesses.
