How to Apply Available Build Sites Program Overview Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati is a partnership housing program in the truest sense of the word. Applicants must demonstrate a need for housing, the ability to pay back an affordable mortgage (payments will not exceed 30% of income and include taxes and insurance), and be willing to partner with Habitat in the building and buying of their home. Habitat homebuyers work side by side with volunteers each week building their own home and the homes of others, attend homeownership and Financial Peace University classes, and are positive ambassadors for HFHGC throughout every step of the process. In exchange, Habitat homebuyers are provided the opportunity to build and buy a home with Habitat for Humanity with an affordable mortgage payment. We give away nothing, but opportunity. Application Process: Review Habitat's qualifications for applying Review our income guidelines Confirm you meet credit requirements Confirm you are interested in one of our build sites Fill out an application Frequently Asked Questions "Keep Going, Keep Moving:" Taleah's Journey “It’s really happening,” says Taleah. “I’m going to be a homeowner.” For years, Taleah has faced challenges in her current living situation—flooding that led to mold in the ceiling, loud music from neighbors at all hours, and complaints about her autistic child’s stimming. On top of that, the space is simply too small for her growing family. Taleah and her four children, ages 9 months to 7 years, currently share a two-bedroom apartment. Every week, Taleah drives her kids past Step 1 Step 1: Review Habitat's Qualifications for Applying 1. Must have a need for adequate housing: Must be living in substandard or inadequate housing that does not meet your needs, living in subsidized housing, or your current housing expenses exceeds 30% of your monthly income. We encourage you apply and let us determine if you meet this criterion. 2. Demonstrate an ability to pay an affordable mortgage payment (will not exceed 30% of your monthly income) Mortgage payments include closing costs, taxes and insurance. The ability to pay criteria is listed as a part of step 2. 3. Must be willing to partner: This is a public partnership with many responsibilities and expectations for each Habitat for Humanity homebuyer. At Habitat, we often say we give away nothing to homebuyers, but an opportunity. To be considered to build and purchase a Habitat for Humanity home, you must be willing to invest “sweat equity” hours. You earn sweat equity hours by working to help in building your home and the homes of others, attending homeownership classes, working in the Habitat ReStores or other approved activities. One applicant households must earn 200 hours of Sweat Equity and two applicants households must earn 300 hours of Sweat Equity. Please Note: You must be comfortable with friends and family knowing you are purchasing a home with Habitat. This is a public partnership that can involve news coverage, social media coverage and information about homebuyers and build sites are shared on our website. Tip: Don't put off applying! Many Habitat homeowners said they took months, or even years, to finally apply to build and buy a home with Habitat for Humanity. If you are concerned, or unsure if you qualify, please do not assume you are not qualified. Even if you apply, and your application is denied, you will be provided with the reason(s) for the denial so you can possibly reapply in the future. You will never know if you are eligible unless you apply.

You are entitled to receive one free copy from each of the three credit reporting agencies one time per year by visiting this website. Please note: Married applicants can apply individually, but spouse must be listed on application as member of household, provide all income and asset information, consent to a background check and agree to sign a release of dower rights at time of home purchase.

Print Homebuyer Application Back to the Top Important Program Dates See All Events Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions How long does the process take? Building and buying a home with HFHGC is not a quick process. From approval to purchase of your home can take anywhere from six to eighteen months. However, once Habitat receives your initial application, you will be contacted by mail within 30 days and notified either: Application is complete, you meet our ability to pay and general requirements and we are ready to schedule a home interview to assess your need for housing and willingness to partner and complete the application process to determine if you are eligible. Your application is incomplete and a list of required documents will be provided. Your application has been reviewed and denied. The notice of adverse action will list the reason(s) that your application was denied. How is income calculated? Income is calculated using the total household’s gross monthly income, considering everyone over the age of 18 in the household when we determine if the total household is within the minimum and maximum range of income allowed. However only the income of the applicant(s) will be used to determine if the ability to pay requirements are met to qualify for a Habitat mortgage. Income is counted from sources such as employment wages, child support, alimony, Social Security Survival benefits, SSDI, & SSI. Unearned income for minors such as child support and SSI, etc. is typically not counted for children over age 15. Households whose monthly income is not within the income qualification range will not qualify or where the applicant (s) are not meeting income requirements, will not qualify. Is there a down payment required? No. But, homebuyers are required to pay up to $1,000.00 towards the first year’s premium for homeowner’s insurance prior to purchasing home. What is sweat equity? Sweat equity is the cornerstone of Habitat and the strategy used to empower our homebuyers that sets us apart from other affordable housing providers. Habitat is not a “hand-out,” but a “hand-up.” A home is not being built for you or given to our homebuyers. Each Habitat homebuyer builds their home side by side with volunteers and then purchases the home when complete. Nothing is given away but opportunity. Habitat uses the term “sweat equity” to refer to the hours of labor our homebuyers dedicate to building their homes, and the homes of their neighbors, as well as attending homeownership classes and Habitat events. HFHGC homebuyers begin their sweat equity after being accepted into the program, earning a minimum of 8 hours of sweat equity per month until their home begins construction. Once a home begins construction, homebuyers are required to work each Saturday side by side with the volunteers building their home. Sweat equity reduces the amount of paid labor needed for a house, which in turn helps reduce cost. Additionally, time spent building your own home can instill a sense of pride and ownership, teaching you the basic building and house-maintenance skills that are necessary for successful homeownership. Note: A single applicant will need to earn a minimum of 200 hours of sweat equity, while two applicant households will earn a minimum of 300 hours. How much is the monthly mortgage payment? Monthly mortgage payments vary but will never be more than 30% of a homebuyer’s monthly income. Monthly mortgage payments include an escrow payment for homeowners' insurance and taxes. Do you have a waiting list? No, we do not keep a waiting list. Applications are only accepted when build sites are available, please continue to check our website the 10th of each month to confirm if we are accepting applications. Can I reapply if I am denied? Absolutely! If you are denied for our program, the reason(s) for denial will be listed. This provides you with the opportunity to correct any issues and resubmit another application. We can help these applicants with strategies to improve their financial situation, refer them to other agencies that may be able to assist and encourage them to apply to the program again. Some of our homeowners were denied the first, second and even third time they applied due to outstanding collections and debts, income that was below our limits or other issues. They successfully improved their eligibility, reapplied and were accepted into the program. If you need help finding community resources, our staff can refer you to tools and resources available to help you improve your situation. Do I need to be employed? No, but you must have a steady income for at least the prior year that does meet our income guidelines. Qualifying income may include, but is not limited to child support, alimony, SSA, SSI, retirement and income from your employment. What is the U.S. Citizenship requirement? All applicants must be U.S. Citizens or Legal Permanent Residents. Copies are required of two (2) of the following documents for each applicant and co-applicant: driver’s license, Permanent Resident Card (Green Card), Social Security Card, state photo ID, passport. Can only families with children apply? No. Individuals and families qualify for a Habitat home by needing adequate, affordable housing, ability to pay their mortgage in addition to other monthly expenses and have a willingness to partner with Habitat to build their home and support the Habitat mission. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati does not discriminate against race, color, religion, sex, familial status or national origin. Can I apply as a single applicant if I am still legally married? Married applicants can apply individually, but spouse must be listed on application as member of household, provide all income and asset information, consent to a background check and agree to sign a release of dower at time of home purchase. The spouse, who is not an applicant, will not have their income or debts counted when determining if the applicant meets the ability to pay criteria, but their income and assets will be considered to determine if the household income is within Habitat’s guidelines. Can I qualify if I have had a foreclosure? It must be three years from date of foreclosure. Can I qualify if I have had an eviction? It must be one year from the date of the completed eviction. How can I find out what is on my credit report? You are able to access a free credit report once a year from each of the three reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. To obtain a copy of your free credit report, go to the website www.annualcreditreport.com . What if my credit report shows outstanding collections, debt, bankruptcies, judgments or liens? Your credit history is a good indicator of your ability to meet your financial obligations and therefore Habitat takes credit reports into account when determining an applicant’s eligibility. We do not use credit scores in our assessment of eligibility; however, we evaluate whether you are timely in paying debts. We carefully review your credit report to see if there are collections, open judgments, or recent bankruptcies/foreclosures. Bankruptcies and/or foreclosures must have been discharged for 3 years before applying. Lastly, an applicant’s debt-to-income ratio (DTI) may not exceed 40%. We will not consider an applicant(s) who has over $2,000 in uncollected, past-due debt. We do require applicants with negative credit accounts (as long as they total under $2,000) to have payment plans in place. We are unable to partner with applicants who have open unpaid judgments or liens.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati has opportunities both internationally and domestically and will typically lead two trips per year-- domestic in the fall and international in late winter. Tithe Tithe is one of the hallmarks of Habitat for Humanity, based on our biblical roots as an ecumenical Christian ministry. Through the tithe, HFHGC joins other U.S. Habitat organizations in sharing 10% of our unrestricted contributions with our Habitat partners around the world. This practice has created a cycle of generosity and partnership that supports Habitat’s mission of eliminating poverty, housing, and homelessness worldwide. Since 1987, HFHGC has contributed over $5 million in tithe to Habitat national affiliates locally building homes in El Salvador, Cambodia, Nepal, and Kenya, serving 1,400+ international families.

A typical workday might look like: 6:30–7:30 AM: Breakfast and travel to the site 8:00 AM–12:00 PM: Construction work 12:00–1:00 PM: Lunch break 1:00–4:00 PM: Continue building Evening: Dinner, team reflection, free time, socializing See more information in the Global Village Logistics Handbook. What are the requirements for going on a Global Village trip with HFHGC? Completed application: Prospective participants will express interest in going on an upcoming trip and complete a brief application describing their reasons and confirm their understanding of GV expectations. Willingness to partner and be a part of the GV team: Participants are expected to attend all team meetings, local team building activities, and fundraising activities to support the trip, unless there is a valid excuse. Valid ID or passport: Participants must have or be able to obtain a passport/ID that is valid and allows you to fly domestically or internationally as appropriate, and will not expire within 6 months of the departure date. (For example, if our departure date is February 1st, 2027, your passport must be valid through at least August 1st, 2027). Age requirement: The age requirements vary per trip, with the lowest typically being at least 15 years old, while some locations require all volunteers to be at least 18 years old.

However, preference will be given to those who have not gone on a trip in the last 18 months. Do I need any building or language skills to go on a Global Village trip? No specific technical or professional experience is required to go on a Global Village build, either intentional or domestic. However, Global Village participants are expected to attend pre-departure meetings in advance of the build, which will introduce basic culture awareness and historical knowledge, and basic language terms for the country we are building in, if applicable. Prior to departure, volunteers are encouraged to go above and beyond and self-study the language, history, and culture of the build location as much as they want. There will be a wide variety of tasks available on the build sites for volunteers of various skill levels, ensuring accessibility for all. What are the safety and security measures on Global Village trips? A Global Village build prioritizes volunteer safety through careful planning, coordination with Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) and the local country affiliate, insurance coverage options, and emergency preparedness: Volunteers will attend comprehensive pre-trip team meetings that discuss cultural awareness, health guidance, emergency procedures, and expectations for conduct. Volunteers are expected to adhere to codes of conduct (Volunteer Code of Conduct , Volunteer Safeguarding Photography and Social Media Guidelines ) and safeguarding policies (Child and Adult Safeguarding Policy) to support respectful and ethical engagement in the host country. HFHGC closely coordinates with HFHI and local Habitat staff and community partners who live and work in the host country and monitor local conditions year-round. These staff are engaged in continuous monitoring of international travel advisories, political conditions, weather events, and health risks. Trips may be canceled, postponed, or shortened if safety concerns arise. Mandatory travel accident and sickness insurance and 24/7 emergency assistance is included in the program donation for volunteers. Coverage includes medical treatment, emergency evacuation, and certain security-related evacuations. See more at International SOS Travel Assistance Summary. In-country lodging, transportation, meals, and worksite logistics are arranged directly by the local Habitat country affiliate to reduce risk and ensure reliable accommodations and travel. The host affiliate will also provide construction site safety procedures, first aid resources, and professional oversight with projects designed around local needs.

building home Real Estate Community Build Real estate industry professionals know that homeownership matters to individuals, families, and communities. It matters because it provides a foundation for growth for families and children, and it strengthens communities and our economy. The Real Estate Community Build brings together businesses and professionals in the real estate industry to construct a Habitat home. June 2026 Join us for the annual Real Estate Community Build! Real estate professionals know the meaning of home better than anyone. When realtors, lenders, mortgage brokers, title companies, and other industry partners come together for the Real Estate Community Build, they help raise funds, raise walls, and raise awareness. Together, they have the power to change the life of a family through affordable homeownership. For more information email Kerry Hendel at kerry.hendel@habitatcincinnati.org Thank you to our 2026 sponsors! Why Habitat? Habitat builds and renovates decent, affordable houses for people who make between 30%-80% of the area's median income. All partner homebuyers must demonstrate a reliable source of income as well as invest 250 hours of sweat equity in their home and in education classes. Houses are sold at no profit with a 0% interest, 30-year loan. The homeowner's mortgage payments are reinvested to build more Habitat homes.        Affordable housing solutions help local families in need provide a stable, sustainable environment to build a better future:   Children of homeowners are 25% more likely to graduate from high school, 116% more likely to graduate from college, and will earn 24% higher incomes.   Homeowners are 28% more likely to vote in local elections and engage in civic, school, and community groups . Homeowners are 34% more likely to have a retirement account. Affordable housing (less than 30% of income) frees up family resources for other important expenses like nutritious food, job training, and healthcare expenditures . "If I didn't have this home, I wouldn't have had the degree that I have now. I wouldn’t have been able to push my kids to go to school or get the degrees they have. [...] I work not even a mile away. I'm able to still work with the kids in my community and to give back. That's what I'm able to do, so that's what owning my home allows me to do." -Marnita, Habitat Homeowner since 2006 Get Involved Donate The Real Estate Community Build is only possible with the help of generous people like you!

When families are able to purchase a safe and stable home that they can afford, they are able to stay stable in their home, invest in their community, and provide a stable foundation for their children as they become adults. The Real Estate Community Build changes lives by creating an affordable homeownership opportunity for a family.
