The most important people associated with Ashe County Habitat are the families who live in the homes we build.

These homes are sold , not given, to approved homeowner applicants. Homeowners pay low no-interest monthly mortgage payments toward the full ownership of their homes. Moving into and owning an Ashe County Habitat home improves the quality of life for its residents, not only in their physical surroundings, but also by instilling a sense of pride and responsibility which comes with home ownership.

How Does It Work?

Ashe County Habitat for Humanity uses tax-deductible donations of money and materials as well as volunteer labor and “sweat equity” done by applicants to build homes. Houses are sold to low income residents through a no profit, no interest mortgage that is paid by the homeowner in monthly payments.

Application Process

Orientation Workshop

Orientation workshops are scheduled ONLY when Ashe County Habitat for Humanity is ready to select additional homebuyers. The workshop provides an opportunity for interested people to learn about Ashe County Habitat and meet members of the Family Selection Committee, board of directors, staff and current Habitat homeowners.

Application

Ashe County Habitat for Humanity has selected families for the first two houses we will build. Until construction begins on the first house, we are not accepting new applications.
