- have the ability to pay the mortgage (no interest) with a $1000 down payment,
- have the willingness to partner with Habitat and put in 250 sweat equity for others' homes and 50 in their own home,
- have lived and worked in metro Atlanta at least 1 year before applying for a home, and
- be a U.S. citizen or legal resident in the U.S.
We are a member of the North Central Georgia affiliate of Habitat which serves North Fulton, Cherokee, Forsyth, and Dawson Counties which has built 100+ homes in North Fulton county and over 180 throughout our entire area.
Three homes are scheduled to start on Feb. 13, 2010 to be built in Centennial Village which is about 5.5 miles north of our church just west of Alpharetta (Cumming) Highway.
