Eligibility Questionnaire - Habitat For Humanity of Tillamook

1. Do you fit within the current income guidelines for your family size?*

Yes
No

Each year the Income Guidelines are revised (based on Housing and Urban Development research) and we use a range of 30-80% of the county median annual income. Click here to check if your household income is within these guidelines.

2. Do you have a credit score of 620 and above or have an ability to raise your credit score to 640 within 1-2 years?*

Yes
No

If “NO” answer: We recommend that you begin credit counseling to increase your credit score. You can get a free credit report once a year at Annual Credit Report. Credit scores determine your credit worthiness for obtaining a mortgage loan. Generally, the better your credit ranking, the more likely it is you will be able to secure a loan with favorable terms.

3. Are you a legal resident of the U.S.?*

Yes
No

Although we consider income of all household members, the income of the applicant with legal residency must financially qualify the household (in case the non-resident is required to be out of the country for a period of time). However, total household income must also fit within the income guidelines per family size.
