Due to the overwhelming response to our application process opening, we have closed the application process temporarily to ensure we balance the number of candidates with the number of projects we can complete in the next 18 months. Please continue to check our website for the next opening. Habitat Hillsborough knows the need for affordable housing options and we are doing all we can to grow our capacity and serve more families.
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.
Habitat for Humanity of Hillsborough County builds throughout all of Hillsborough County. We work with Homeowner Candidates to locate suitable building sites in areas in which they wish to live.
*Buyer’s closing costs may include taxes and recording fees on notes and mortgages; recording fees for deed and financing statements; Survey; Lender’s title policy and endorsements; HOA/Condominium Association application/transfer fees (if applicable); Loan expenses; Processing fee; All property-related insurance; Owner’s Title Policy and charges (if applicable).
