It's our favorite time: time to look for new homeowners! We are preparing to reopen the application process in June.
We will require those interested to attend an orientation session (no longer than one hour) before they receive an application to fill out. This way, they fully understand the process, the requirements and the timeline of Habitat homeownership before they spend a great deal of effort assembling their application packet.
For example, someone might realize the process is not a “quick fix” to their current situation or they might realize they make too much or too little income based on their family size. We can answer questions and perhaps even help them access other resources.
There will be three orientation sessions from which to choose. All sessions will take place in person in the meeting room of our administration offices at 6700 S. University. We hope one of the sessions will work for everyone.
Wednesday, May 31, at noon, at the Little Rock ReStore
Saturday, June 3, at 10 a.m., at the Little Rock ReStore
Saturday, June 3, at 11 a.m., at the Little Rock ReStore
Following the week of orientation sessions, we will open the application window from June 5 - 19. If you or someone you know might be interested, contact Manuela Catic, manager of Homeowner Services, at 501.251.6757 to reserve your spot.
It’s an exciting time for us because we know the difference an affordable, decent home can mean to families. Make no mistake: together, we (and I mean YOU donors and volunteers, plus our staff and homebuyers) build homes, community and hope.
