Family Selection Criteria

Habitat for Humanity does not build homes for families; it builds homes with families who demonstrate need and willingness to partner with Habitat by helping to construct their homes and the homes of others. The hands-on experience of home construction is empowering for homebuyers, giving them a sense of pride and investment in the communities they help to build.

The following are the key factors in qualifying to become a Habitat Partner Family:

Key Qualifying Factors

• Housing Need: My current living situation has structural issues, living space concerns, safety issues, is temporary, too expensive or overcrowded.
  
  
• Ability to Pay: I believe my family’s income meets the median household guidelines.
  
  
• Willingness to Partner: My family is willing to put in 300 hours of work toward the construction of this home and the home of others.
  
  
• Residency: I have lived or worked in Carroll or Haralson counties for one year.
