Selection Criteria

To be eligible to qualify for a Habitat home, your family must be:

Living in the city of Fredericksburg, or the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania or King George.

Unable to qualify for any type of conventional home financing.

Living in inadequate/sub-standard housing.

Able to finance an interest-free Habitat mortgage with a reliable source of income.

How do I get an application for a Habitat Home?

You must attend a HOMEOWNERS Orientation Meeting. 

UPDATE APRIL 2008:  We currently have 8 families approved for homes, and some of them have been waiting for two years.  Because of the backlog, we will not have an orientation this year.

During this meeting, our program is explained in greater detail and your questions will be answered.  This is where you will be given an application.  This is the ONLY way for you to receive the application.

This meeting is held once a year. 

Once the date/time/location of the meeting is set, the information will be posted on the first page of our website. 

It will also be posted on our Calendar of Events on the  website, and it will be advertised in the FreeLance Star.

We do have an information packet that gives a bit more detail about our program.  Click here for more information.
