Now Accepting Applications for Home Ownership [January 28, 2010]

Ardmore Habitat for Humanity is now accepting applications for home ownership. Applications can be obtained from the office at 301 West Main on the lower level of the First Bank building or here. The deadline for applications is Monday, March 1, 2010.

Habitat for Humanity is a Christian housing ministry financed through private donations and volunteer labor. Our purpose is to build homes for families in need, and provide them at no profit to families who could not otherwise afford them. If you are interested in applying for home ownership through our organization, please first read the following items to see if you have an interest in our ministry AND TO SEE IF YOU MEET OUR GENERAL GUIDELINES.
  • To qualify you must have a housing need. For example: no indoor plumbing, poor heating, leaks in the roof, overcrowding (three to a bedroom), unsafe or unsanitary conditions.
  • You need to have lived in our service area (Ardmore city limits) ONE YEAR.
  • You need to have a minimum steady income of $1000 a month ($12,000 a year), roughly 25% of the median income for your community.
  • Your total family income should not be much more than $20,000 per year, roughly 50-75% of the median income for your community.
  • With your permission, we will verify employment and other income, verify checking and saving account balances, get a statement from your current and previous landlords, have a credit check done, and ask you for credit references. We will also need the names of two people who know you and who we can contact.
  • If you are approved for a Habitat home, we ask that you be willing to join the programs to learn and practice budgeting, home repair, and maintenance.
  • If approved for a home, we ask that you are willing to work 300 hours of sweat equity, 75% of those hours before construction can begin on your own home.
  • If you are approved for a Habitat home and if you meet the sweat-equity and nurturing requirements, then we will sell you a home at our cost or the appraised value, which one is less, with no interest. Home payments including taxes and insurance will cost approximately $350 a month. The house payments will be used by Habitat budget to help in the administrative cost and build more houses with other people like you. This requires that you make these payments on the first of the month and on time.
Please note that your application must be filled out completely – every page included, signatures complete where requested. If married, both must sign all forms. FAILURE TO COMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL RESULT IN YOUR APPLICATION BEING DENIED. IF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED CHANGES…TELEPHONE NUMBER, ADDRESS, PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, ETC YOU MUST ADVISE IMMEDIATELY. If we cannot reach you at information provided, your application will be denied and you will have to re-apply. Please address any question or changes to (580) 504-2624 or (580) 223-1540.

Support Habitat and save the planet
Help support Habitat for Humanity while also making a difference in the environment! Habitat for Humanity participates in the Cans for Habitat program, which raises funds for home-building efforts through the recycling of aluminum cans.

Organizations can arrange for free collection containers, liners and pick-up service by calling 580-223-1540. Individuals can drop their cans by OK Iron and Metal and tell them the proceeds go to support Habitat.
