In June 2011, we completed the family selection process for two more families for a two home development in Philomath, which will be built between June 2011 and April 2012. The next family selection is currently underway.

Financial Status Criteria mandates that the family must be able to afford the housing and have proper financial stability to maintain payments. Habitat families fall within the 25%–60% range of HUD median income levels for Benton County, Oregon. (See chart below.) Applicants must verify the percentage of their monthly income currently spent on housing. Applicants are required to openly and fully discuss their financial situation with Habitat personnel.

Willingness to Partner We look for families who will make good partners. Families who are timely in the application process, willing to take home ownership and financial fitness classes, honor their repayment contracts, accept the requirements for sweat equity and down payments and strive to create healthy families, be good neighbors and help create a healthy community.

Residency Applicants must confirm Benton County residency of at least 1 year and verify citizenship or permanent residency through documentation.
