Attending one of our Virtual Homeownership Information Meetings through ZOOM is one of the basic requirements before being accepted into the homeowner program. It’s offered in both English and Spanish. See the meeting schedule for details.

You do not need to attend this meeting in order to obtain a pre-application or before submitting a pre-application, but it’s a great way to get information about the application process and program requirements before applying.

If you would like to speak with one of our staff members, you can call 239-652-0434.

If you would like the Family Services staff to review your pre-application before submitting it, please set up an appointment by calling Daniela Rambhajan at 239-652-1672 or e-mail [email protected]

* Please note that staff can review your application for completeness only. They are not able to tell you whether you qualify or if you will be approved.

We have homes available in different areas in Lee and Hendry Counties. Please come to our office to get the most updated Home Selection Form that lists the addresses and a brief description of the property (new construction or rehabilitated home, number or rooms, floorplan, exterior finish, etc.).

Please select all the homes for which you would like your pre-application considered. The more homes you select, the greater the chance that there will be enough inventory when your pre-application is reviewed.

We only accept pre-applications for the homes that are listed in the Home Selection Form. If you are not interested in applying for any of the homes currently listed, please check back regularly as this form is updated as homes become available.

You may submit a new pre-application at any time. We encourage you to open a counseling file with one of our housing advisors who can help to better prepare you to qualify for homeownership.

You will get an update on your pre-application within 30 days.

It may take several months before you can move into your Habitat home. You will need to satisfy all your partnership requirements while our construction team partners with you and other volunteers to build your home. There are several factors that go into your partnership schedule as well as the construction schedule. While we will do our best to keep you up-to-date on the schedules, there are sometimes circumstances which can cause them to change.
