Can I still volunteer after I complete the program?
We rely on our volunteers to build our homes, work in our stores and help in our office. We welcome you to continue to partner with Habitat so we can help more families in need.
Can I choose the location of my house?

How much is the credit report and background check fee and what is it used for?
The cost is $37 per applicant. The fee is for the background and credit check. The application can not be evaluated until we are able to conduct the credit and background checks. Payable at time of application.
