Housing Help
Habitat homeowners are South Carolina residents earning 30-80% of the regional area median income. Prior to becoming homeowners, families may have experienced need of decent shelter due to a variety of circumstances-unpredictable rent increases, overcrowded living conditions, damaged or dilapidated structures, unsafe neighborhoods, or lack of access to land and affordable financing.
If you are interested in becoming a Habitat Homeowner please contact your local affiliate to discuss their specific application process.
