Eligibility Criteria to Qualify for the Homebuyer Program

Is a Home Built by Pensacola Habitat Right for Your Family?

To be eligible for Pensacola Habitat’s Homebuyer Program, you must be able to answer “yes” to the following statements. If you meet this criteria, we encourage you to take the first step in your homeownership journey.

 

Ability to Pay

You will be expected to bring proof of income and show your bill payment history. Pensacola Habitat for Humanity does evaluate credit history and debt, but your credit DOES NOT need to be perfect. In fact, we work with families to improve credit and reduce debt. You may be eligible for our HUD Housing Counseling, which offers a customized action plan to help you learn how to manage your budget, pay off debt, understand credit and save for your home purchase.

The following info will help you decide if your YEARLY income is within Pensacola Habitat guidelines. (Maximum income guidelines are up to 80% of Area Median Income and based on family size. Minimum income must be over $35,000 yearly or $2,917 monthly. Income limits may change based on annual adjustment of HUD area median income.) See below chart for maximum income levels:
