Homeownership Program Application Cycle - NOW OPEN!

August 1, 2025

The Chippewa Valley Habitat for Humanity is excited to announce that our fall application cycle is NOW OPEN for our Homeownership Program!

We are currently preparing to start our next Habitat Home build this fall, which will be located in New Auburn, WI. The program helps qualified applicants obtain a conventional low-interest mortgage at a much more affordable cost. We help provide you with the education and support to be successful in your homebuying journey, and help you build a home you love with a mortgage you can afford for your family.

Applications Due by: 11:59PM on September 30, 2025.

How It Works

• The Homeowner Selection Committee will begin reviewing all applications on September 1, 2025. Applicants will be contacted during the month of September to discuss their applications and meet with the Homeowner Selection Committee.
• The Homeowner Selection Committee will work internally to approve the new partner homeowner; applicants will be notified by September 30, 2025 of their application status.

Tips

• CVHFH keeps costs low by utilizing local partnerships, donated materials, and volunteer labor - the Homeownership Program aims to help families and individuals obtain a more affordable conventional mortgage than what is available on the open market. On the application, Section 5.1 asks that you obtain and provide a loan pre-approval from your preferred lending institution.
• To help your application process go smoothly, please provide both proof of income and loan pre-approval documentation with your application submission.
