Home Ownership
A World Where Everyone Has a Decent Place to Live
We are not accepting new applications at this time. Please check back for more information on our next homeownership information session.
To carry out our mission, we partner with qualified individuals and families beginning with an information session, an application process followed by a series of activities leading up to the build of their new home.
Habitat’s path to homeownership is an important and in-depth process, requiring hard work, time and dedication.
By working with us from beginning to end, we help prospective homeowners prepare for the various responsibilities of homeownership, including learning about personal finances, mortgages, the upkeep of a home, and much more.
Program qualifications include but are not limited to:
- Between 30% and 80% of the area median income for Brevard County based on family size (see AMI chart).
- Stable income
- Brevard County Resident
- Need for better housing
- Willingness to partner with Space Coast Habitat (sweat equity, down payment, and repay an interest free 30 year mortgage).
- Cannot currently own a home
- No bankruptcies or repossessions in the last 7 years
Next Steps

- The completed application is submitted by the 3rd party partner and reviewed by Space Coast Habitat.
- A home visit is scheduled and conducted by Space Coast Habitat.
- The completed application packet is submitted to Space Coast Habitat’s Board of Directors for review.
