  • Are you dreaming of owning a home but unsure where to begin? Don't stress; we're here to assist you every step of the way! Currently, we have three Habitat homes underway in New Preston and a Townhouse in New Milford, eagerly awaiting dedicated families to become homeowners.

    Our homeownership program offers an incredible opportunity to purchase a house with NO DOWN PAYMENT and a subsidized mortgage.

    Join us for a FREE event where we'll equip you with all the essential information to guide you towards homeownership. Discover more about the available Habitat Homes and learn how you can take the first steps towards becoming a Habitat homeowner!

    Here's what you'll learn at the Habitat for Humanity workshop:

    Ways to improve your credit score.
    How to prepare to apply for a mortgage.
    What to expect during the home buying process.
    How Habitat for Humanity offers a hand-up to working families.
    And here are the minimum requirements for Habitat homeowners:

    Household annual income of at least $60K.
    A credit score of 650+.
    Good repayment history.
    2+ years at the current job.

    If you don't meet the minimum requirements just yet, do not be discouraged! We recommend you still attend our free workshop - the tools you will learn will help you become ready!

In Support of Housatonic Habitat for Humanity
Homeownership is more than the homes we build. Homeownership also provides financial benefits that impact and contribute to the quality of life in greater Danbury. Throughout the region, affordable housing attracts families and individuals who will locate, work in, invest in, and contribute to the economic and civic life of our communities. Our goal: Give people a chance to live in simple, decent homes they can afford – and sustain. We provide affordable homes built by volunteers with materials gifted by local businesses. Homes are sold below market rate with an affordable mortgage for working families who qualify.
