ABWK helps low-income homeowners impacted by age, disability, and family circumstances, who struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes, reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. It revitalizes the appearance of the neighborhood, strengthens connections within the community, and helps preserve and create affordable housing stock. The Habitat for Humanity Selection Committees uses the following criteria to identify qualified families:

Need

Need is determined by your household income and current living conditions. We want to help those in greatest need and therefore will make a home visit to determine what conditions may make it imperative for your family to move into safe, decent, affordable housing. Ability to Pay

Can you afford the monthly house payment? These costs include mortgage, property taxes, and homeowner's insurance. Typical costs can be discussed with you. Willingness to Partner

Partnering is defined as your willingness to put time and energy into acquiring, building or renovating your home. This willingness encompasses a specific number of hours of "sweat equity" or actual work done on a Habitat home.
