Since 1990, Habitat for Humanity of Wausau has been helping area low-income individuals and families achieve their dreams of homeownership. Habitat assists income qualified applicants who are currently living in substandard or inadequate housing conditions and are willing to partner with us on the construction of a new home. We are proud to announce that we are currently constructing our 71st home in our community!
Through our Homeownership Program, Habitat for Humanity of Wausau provides an affordable, non-profit mortgage for a safe, decent, and affordable home to our partner families. Monthly mortgage payments include principal on the loan, homeowner’s insurance, and property taxes. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, reside in the greater Wausau area for at least one year, and meet criminal background check requirements.
Each year, Habitat opens an application period for our Homeownership Program. The 2023 application period will take place February 1 to March 24, 2023.
