Applying for a House

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

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

Partner families are selected based on their level of need, ability to pay and willingness to partner.

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
