What is Middlesex Habitat for Humanity?   It is part of a world-wide Christian housing ministry that forms partnerships with people in need, to build houses, develop communities and create hope…. one house at a time.

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation.  We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program. We recognize that housing discrimination is illegal throughout the state of Connecticut. It is against the law to deny anyone housing based on: race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, familial status, age, lawful source of income, or learning disability, physical and/or mental disability.
 

To qualify to buy a Habitat home , the homeowner candidate(s) must commit to work a minimum of 200 “sweat equity” (200 hours per adult applicant) hours.

Who pays to build the houses?   Habitat uses donations of money and building materials, along with volunteer labor, to build homes at lower cost.  The homes are sold to new homeowners at no profit and with a zero interest rate mortgage.

How are the homeowners chosen?  Homeowners are selected on the basis of need, willingness to partner with Habitat to help build their home and the ability to repay the mortgage.

Step 1:  Please answer the following questions. Note: This is  preliminary information to see if you are initially eligible to apply for a Habitat House.  See Step 2 for information on the full application process.
