Homeownership Program Criteria
Please see the information and list of qualifications below:
General Requirements
Financial Requirements
To see if you qualify to the Homeownership Program, you have two options:
Applicants who meet the initial criteria will be invited to continue to the next stage of the application process, which includes:
Once submitted, your packet will be reviewed to verify income, credit, banking, and background information. If all criteria and guidelines are met, you will advance to the next step in the process.
The full application process typically takes 60–90 days, with regular updates provided to keep you informed of your status.
The Home Visit is an important step to determine and assess housing need.
After Home Visits have been completed, an independent Home Selection Committee will make their board recommendations for final selections into the Homeownership Program.
At Habitat Broward, the journey to homeownership truly begins once a Homeowner Candidate is accepted into our program. From that point forward, each Homeowner Candidate is paired with our in-house Housing Advisor, who serves as their dedicated financial coach throughout the entirety of the program.
The full process typically takes 18–24 months from application to move-in. For more information about our Homeownership Program, please contact our Homeowner Services Team at homeownership@habitatbroward.org.
