Family Selection
The Family Selection Committee chooses families best  suited for a Habitat house based on need, ability to pay and willingness to partner. The committee holds orientations that are mandatory for new applicants, reviews the newly received applications as well as the mid-process applications, and makes follow-up phone calls to potential applicants in order to gain further information.
