Habitat for Humanity is a Christian housing ministry whose purpose is to build homes with families and to sell the houses at no profit and no interest to families who could not otherwise afford a home. Please read the following general guidelines to see if you meet Habitat’s requirements:
- No indoor plumbing
- Poor heating
- Leaks in the roof
- Overcrowding (three to a bedroom)
- Unsafe or unsanitary conditions.
- Our service area is defined as inside Pike County, Kentucky within a 15-mile radius of the city of Pikeville

- Employment and other income

- Credit check

- Background check
- Sex Offender Registry check on all adult family members (age 18 or older)
- We ask that you be willing to join in programs to learn and practice budgeting, home repair, and home maintenance.
- all adult (18 years and older) members in your household must help contribute to a set number of sweat equity hours. (Adults with special needs will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.)
- $500.00 will be needed for a down payment. If your family is selected, you will have some time to save this money before closing.
- And if you meet the sweat-equity and down payment requirements, then we will sell you a home for a set price. Habitat house payments include taxes and insurance. The house payments will be used by Habitat to build more houses with other families. This requires that you make these payments on time.
