HABITAT FOR HEROES PROGRAM

Picture
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The goals of the Habitat for Heroes program are to provide current and former military members with the opportunity to engage in their community by volunteering and to provide former military members access to quality affordable housing.

APPLY
Habitat is always accepting applications for former military members or veterans interested in becoming Habitat homeowners. Please review the information provided below about the program qualifications. A former military member or veteran is defined as a “person who served in the active military, naval or air service, and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable." 

Families will be selected for the Habitat for Heroes program according to the program qualifications specified below. Habitat for Heroes families receive a 25% discount off the total house cost. The zero-interest Habitat mortgage will breakdown to about $500-$800 monthly and will include real estate taxes, homeowner's insurance - what a deal!
