Habitat for Humanity Winona-Fillmore Counties is now accepting applications through March 15th for a single family home to be built in Winona.

To qualify for a Habitat home, the family must currently be living in substandard housing, be unable to obtain a conventional loan from a bank, have the resources to pay a monthly mortgage, and be willing to partner with Habitat.

Before moving into a Habitat home, families contribute a minimum of 300 hours of time worked on the construction of the house, and must make a modest down payment.
   
Information on Habitat's homebuyer program can be found on-line at www.habitatwinona.org .  Interested homebuyers can request an application by going on-line or calling Habitat for Humanity office at 457-0003.
