LowCountry Habitat for Humanity partners with responsible families in need to provide an opportunity to become homeowners. The Habitat homeowner program is a hand-up, not a hand-out. It is not a solution for emergency housing needs, as the program usually takes one year or more from selection date to move in date.  The application process includes a two-part written application, income, credit and landlord verifications, and two separate home visits by the Family Selection Committee. Final approval of a homeowner is made by our Board of Directors.  Once accepted in the homeowner program, families work with volunteers to learn homeownership skills, while working on their house or another Habitat house. Upon closing, Habitat homeowners pay a no-interest-no-profit mortgage to our “Fund for Humanity”, which is used to build more houses.
