Homeowner Applications
Please note, we are only building three bedroom/two bath homes at this time. To avoid overcrowding, your household size must comply with the HUD occupancy limit based on age and gender.
According to HUD Federal Occupancy Standards, the maximum number of people who can live in a 3-bedroom home is 6, depending on age difference and gender.
Habitat for Humanity builds Strength, Stability and Self-Reliance in our community through homeownership.
Low-income individuals and families, who meet our eligibility criteria and who qualify for a Habitat mortgage, may choose to partner with Habitat Hillsborough to build their dream of owning a home. Since we do not require a down payment, future homeowners invest in their homes through sweat equity hours. These hours can be accumulated building homes and volunteering at our ReStores.
Future homeowners pay typical Buyer’s closing costs* and purchase their homes with an affordable mortgage.

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or nationality.
