Homeownership with Habitat

At Habitat for Humanity of Northern Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. If you are working toward the dream of homeownership, our program might be the opportunity you’ve been seeking.

Habitat partners with families earning 50-80% of the area median income (AMI) to provide a pathway to affordable homeownership. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate:

  • A need for housing due to unsafe, overcrowded, or unaffordable living conditions.
  • The ability to pay an affordable mortgage with a steady income and financial readiness.
  • A willingness to partner by contributing sweat equity hours and participating in educational classes to prepare for the responsibilities of owning a home.

This is more than just a chance to own a house—it’s an opportunity to build a strong, stable future. Families in safe, stable homes experience profound improvements in their overall well-being—enjoying better health, reduced stress, and a stronger sense of connection to their communities. For children, these stable environments foster academic success, emotional resilience, and greater opportunities for future achievements, laying the foundation for a brighter, more promising future.

If you’re ready to work toward a brighter future for yourself and your family, we encourage you to explore our homeownership program and learn how Habitat can help make your dream a reality. Together, we’ll build a home and a foundation for lasting change.
