Step 2: Review Criteria for Family Selection under the Qualifying for a Habitat Home tab
Step 3: Complete an Application
Step 4: Home Interview
The Family Selection Committee will schedule a home visit with qualified applicants and interview the families to further determine the applicants’ level of need. After all home visits have been completed, the Committee makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors, who then make the final decision for partner family selection.
Step 5: Sign a Partnership Agreement
Step 6: Complete Financial Foundations and Homebuyer Training
Step 7: Complete Sweat Equity Hours / Help Build Your New Home
Ideally, you will complete sweat equity hours by helping build your new home. You'll learn valuable skills to help maintain your home after the purchase. Alternative methods for completing sweat equity are available for those physically unable to help with construction.
Step 8: Purchase Your Home / Sign Mortgage Documents
Once the home has been completed and a certificate of occupancy has been granted by the City of Lincoln City, partner families will sign loan documents and mortgage agreements.
