FAQs

What if I don't meet all the eligibility criteria?

We encourage you to apply and let us determine your eligibility.

What is "Sweat Equity"?

Habitat GSF requires all potential buyers to complete sweat equity (up to 500 volunteer hours). The requirement for 4 Mount Burdell Place, a previously built home, is 125 hours.

You can get help with your sweat equity by having friends and family volunteer with you.

Sweat equity is not designed to be a barrier; we work with each family to ensure they finish their sweat equity in a safe and timely manner.

What is the HOA responsible for?

Maintaining and repairing common areas (homeowners are responsible for repairs in their units).

Will I need to pay my own utilities or will the HOA pay them?

You are responsible for paying for your own utilities.

Are there monthly HOA fees?

Yes, fees are subject to change annually.

Is there parking?

Yes, parking is included.

Applicants’ IDs will be randomized and given a spot in the lottery starting with #1.

We will invite applicants to complete the full application based on lottery number. For example, the applicant who gets lottery #1 will be the first person invited to complete the full application. We will go down our list in lottery order until the unit is filled by a qualified buyer.

Lottery results will be posted on our website and applicants will be notified of their number by email.
