Planned Giving--Your estate plan offers you a variety of ways to help provide decent shelter for families in need. In your will you may decide to leave Habitat a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate, or all or part of the residue of your estate.  A gift to Habitat in your will is a meaningful way to create a permanent memorial that will help local families.  Simply ask your attorney to include a bequest in your will.  Habitat offers FREE consulting; specialists can work with your accountant, financial planner, or attorney to help you arrange your bequest. For more information, contact our office at (541)574-4437.

WANT TO APPLY TO BECOME A HABITAT HOMEOWNER? 

Our criteria for application are as follows:

1. You must have a NEED for decent, affordable housing; for example, maybe your current housing is substandard, overcrowded, dangerous, or not appropriate for a handicapped family member

2. You must have the ABILITY TO PAY our no interest mortgage payments. We target families whose annual income falls approximately within 35%-60% of the Area Median Income as determined each year by HUD. The % of AMI may vary slightly from year to year depending on where we are building. For 2008, 35%-60% of the AMI would be annual incomes between approximately $16,600 and $28,500.

3. You must be WILLING TO PARTNER with Habitat. This means being willing to put in 500 hours of "sweat equity" working on your house and other Habitat activities, working with a family Mentor, and attending Homeowner classes.

We do not keep a waiting lists for homes. We publicize the dates/locations/times of our Family Information meetings when we are ready to select a new family.
