Habitat for Humanity of DeKalb County will hold an orientation meeting for those interested in becoming Habitat homeowners. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Jan. 20 via Zoom.
There are four basic criteria that individuals or families must meet to be considered for Habitat homeownership. They are:
• A need for adequate housing
• The ability to pay a mortgage
• The willingness to partner with HFHDC in the construction of the home, and
• Prior residency in DeKalb County for a minimum of one year.
Attending this meeting is an essential step to becoming a Habitat homeowner.
At the meeting the requirements and qualifications for being accepted as a partner family will be explained and application forms will be available. Those interested in attending the meeting are asked to contact the Habitat office by noon Jan. 19 at 815-991-5341 or by email at hfhdekalbcounty@gmail.com to register.
HFHDC is planning to begin construction of a home in the spring of 2021.
