Applying for a House

Habitat affiliates select “Partner families” to become Habitat homeowners.  

Schuyler County Habitat for Humanity follows a nondiscriminatory policy of Partner family selection.  

Partner families are selected based on their level of need, ability to hold a mortgage and willingness to partner to help build their home.

Applicants are required to meet several qualifications to ensure success.  

The guidelines are:

•    Be citizens or legal residents of Schuyler County

•    Prove steady income

•    Have good credit

•    Earn a monthly income that falls within minimum and maximum limits, depending on household size

•    Sustain a savings account over a specified period of time

In addition, each partner family is required to:

•    Invest sweat-equity hours in building his/her home and/or others

•    Be able to make an affordable down payment

•    Have the ability to make timely mortgage payments

•    Attend homeowner education classes or the equivalent
