Putting God’s Love in Action

Bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.

Make your dreams of home ownership a reality!

We provide a “hand up” not a “hand out” for families who do not qualify for a conventional home loan. We partner with families in Holmes County to purchase a simple, decent and affordable home and together we build. 

To become a partner family and be able to purchase a home through Habitat, applicants must go through a strict screening process. 

Getting into a Home

Apply

Follow our website or the local news to find out when applications open (once a year), then fill out the application and provide all necessary documentation.

Build

Once you have been approved, we move into the financing, classes, site selection and building process of the home.

Be a Home Owner!

Move into the affordable home you have built and make the agreed upon monthly mortgage payments, making you a true homeowner!

“Habitat has given my family a better quality of life by providing a stable home. Due to some unusual circumstances in our life our family found ourselves living with my parents shortly after starting a family of our own. After given the opportunity to obtain home ownership through habitat I noticed my mental health begin to improve tremendously. As you can imagine living with your parents didn’t enable any privacy, self-reliance, or the adequate amount of living space for our growing family. Basically, the quality of our life got a lot more peaceful when we knew we had the personal space to be parents ourselves without my parents raising our kids and the privacy we needed to feel married and independent. I lost 70lbs after we had our own house and felt less stressed.  We are very thankful for the opportunity to partner with habitat. ”

“Habitat has benefited my life in a great way. It's affordable housing and I've enjoyed my home and will forever be grateful. Been able to save and put extra money away.  ”

“Habitat has been a blessing to my little family. Before being chosen as a recipient family, my 5-year-old handicapped child and I lived in a small 1-bedroom upstairs apartment with my boyfriend. She is non-mobile and fully wheelchair dependent. When we were chosen, I never imagined the house to be as big and beautiful as it is. My house is fully handicapped accessible. The Habitat board even went as far as to put a ramp on the outside of the house and a stair lift inside. Receiving this house has been an answer to my prayers and everything I needed for my daughter’s well-being!!! ”
