Become a Homeowner
"Becoming a Habitat homeowner carries a far deeper meaning than just having a new house. Habitat home ownership transforms lives."
How to Become a Partner Family
Habitat homes are built with the love and support of the Wimberley community, are sold at cost, and financed by Habitat with a no interest loan. Habitat for Humanity is not a giveaway program, rather it offers a hand up to families who are qualified to become Habitat homeowners.
To qualify for a habitat home in wimberley, the candidate(s) must:
Be in need of decent, affordable housing.
Live within the 78676 zip code and/or the Wimberley Independent School District presently and for at least six (6) months prior to the time of the application.
Have a record of stable income or employment.
Have the ability to repay the cost of the no-interest mortgage.
Contribute 300 sweat equity hours in partnering to build their home.
Be a U.S. citizen or demonstrate permanent resident status with a green card.
Wimberley Valley Habitat for Humanity application & Selection Process
