If no, why?

Co-applicant

YesNo

If no, why?

Partnership with Habitat SKC involves willingness to participate with public relations. Household bios and a household picture will be displayed at the house site for which the family is approved for. Additionally, homebuyers may be asked to speak at or attend various Habitat events such as our annual luncheon. Do you understand what is being asked of you and do you agree to this commitment?

YesNo

If no, why?

All applicants understand that they are applying to the homeownership program through Habitat SKC. If approved to become a Habitat homeowner, they are prepared to make monthly on-time mortgage payments as well as Homeowners Association dues (if applicable) after they close on the house. Living in an Association comes with responsibilities that continue throughout your time in the home. Paying monthly assessments on time to contribute to the operation and maintenance of the property, preparing for future needs of the Association, and building a vibrant community of connected neighbors making these decisions together. With the help of a professional Association manager and Habitat, owners commit to serving terms on the Board of Directors, volunteering when called, participating in meetings and elections, paying their assessments on time, and building a lasting community.
Mortgages are provided through third party providers and will likely have a low interest rate.

YesNo

If no, why?
