Family Selection

Habitat for Humanity builds simple, decent, affordable homes and sells these homes to selected families at no profit and no interest. We are a Christian housing ministry financed through private donations and volunteer labor.

How to qualify

1.    Families must have a housing need. The need can by caused by overcrowding or inadequate or substandard conditions of the home.

2.    A family's income level must fall between 25% and 60% of the median income for the area.

5.    Families must have lived in our service area (Silverton, Mt. Angel, Woodburn, Molalla, Hubbard, Canby, Aurora, or Gervais) for a minimum of one year.

6.    All applicants are required to submit proof of U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status with their application. If this documentation is not provided the application may be denied. The following are acceptable original documents proving citizenship or permanent resident status:
