The Veterans Build program provides current and former military members with the opportunity to engage in their community by volunteering and provides former military members access to quality affordable housing through homeownership and exterior repairs.
APPLY TO PURCHASE A HOME
Habitat for Humanity is always accepting applications for former military members or veterans interested in becoming Habitat homeowners. Please review the information on our homebuyer page here about the program qualifications. A former military member or veteran is defined as a “person who served in the active military, naval or air service, and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable.”
Families will be selected for the Habitat for Heroes program according to the program qualifications. Habitat for Heroes families receive a 25% discount off the total house cost. The zero-interest Habitat mortgage includes real estate taxes and homeowners insurance and will be no more than 30% of the buyer’s income.
If you have any specific questions or would like to submit an application after reviewing the information provided, please send an email to [email protected] or call 757-913-5653.
