Application Process

1. You must attend a 2010 Homeowner Information Session. If you meet our Selection Criteria, you can request an application form at the meeting.
2. You must submit your completed application to the Calgary Habitat office by the date specified on the application form.
3. The Family Services Manager will review all applications and meet with eligible families for the first interview.
4. The Family Selection Committee will interview the families who have been chosen to move forward in the selection process.
5. All family members must be present for the in-home interview with the volunteers from the Family Selection Committee.
6. The Family Services Manger and the Family Selection Committee will meet to evaluate families they have visited and select families to enter the Partnership program.
7. Selected Family Partners will be presented to the Habitat Board of Directors for final approval. Selected families will be contacted. They will be asked to sign a Partnership Agreement and to begin their sweat equity.
8. Families who are not selected will be notified. You are invited to re-apply the following year but must re-attend a Homeowner Information Session to do so.
9. Once a family completes their sweat equity hours and the house is complete, they move in and sign a tenancy-at-will agreement. Families who successfully achieve their partnership responsibilities are offered mortgages generally one year after they have moved into their home.
