What 4 criteria must a family meet to partner with Macomb Habitat?
• A Need for Shelter: Your current housing conditions are substandard. This could be due to structural, plumbing, heating, overcrowding, or infestation problems, as examples. • A Willingness to Partner: 250 sweat equity hours are required of each adult family member. This may include Habitat office work, helping with Habitat functions, or on-site building. • Ability to Pay: Employment history, credit history, and manageable debt history are reviewed and weighed. • Residency: You must be a resident of Macomb County for six (6) months minimum. Once I submit the Homeownership Eligibility Questionnaire, if I meet all the eligibility requirements, then what? You will be notified via US mail if you are/are not eligible for Habitat Homeownership. If you are eligible, the Application Process comes next.
