The Habitat for Humanity Family Selection Committees uses the following criteria to identify qualified families.

Need:

Need is determined by your family income and living conditions. Is your family income within these guidelines:

Family Size	Annual Gross Income		Family Size	Annual Gross Income
One	$19,350		Five	$29,850
Two	$22,100		Six	$32,050
Three	$24,900
Four	$27,650

As 8/7/07

We want to help those in greatest need and therefore will make a home visit to determine what conditions may make it imperative for your family to move into safe, decent, affordable housing.

Ability to Pay:

Can you afford the monthly house payment? These costs include mortgage, property taxes, and homeowner's insurance. Typical costs can be discussed with you.

Willingness to Partner:

Partnering is defined as your willingness to put time and energy into acquiring, building or renovating your home. This willingness encompasses a specific number hours of "sweat equity" or actual work done on a Habitat home. For a family with two adults, 300 hours are required. For a family with one adult, 250 hours are required. Family and friends can contribute half of the sweat equity.
