Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County
 

Read this page carefully.  The First Step is: Attend an orientation. Orientations for homeownership are every second Monday of each month @ 6:30 - Winston-Lake YMCA

 


Did you know:  Your mortgage payment is the fastest and most reliable way
to build wealth and a stronger future for your family?
 
 
 

HOW CAN ME AND MY FAMILY BECOME A HABITAT HOMEOWNER?


The Basics: 
 
Applicants must be willing to become a full partner with Habitat Forsyth.  Families must meet all qualifications and be willing to invest 200 - 300 hours of their time
in
“sweat equity" which involves working on your house, on your neighbor's house and by partnering with Habitat in other ways. 

After you meet all qualifications you become eligible to 
receive a 20-year interest-free mortgage on a newly built home or one of our newly renovated homes.  Now you are a homeowner and will start making monthly payments to Habitat.
       

Qualifications and Requirements:
If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions,
you might qualify to partner with us to become a Habitat Homeowner
 
Have you had steady income for the last 18 months?

Have you lived in Forsyth County for the last 12 months?

Is it overcrowded in your home?

Are you living in substandard housing?

Do you live in a crime-ridden neighborhood?

Are you making monthly payments on all your debts?

Are you willing to work 300 “sweat equity” hours on Habitat homes?

Does your total family income fall within guidelines listed below?
