The applicant agrees to complete 250 hours of "sweat equity" per adult in the household and participate in the partnership program that may include financial counseling and household management education. - Able to Pay an Affordable Mortgage
The applicant's household income is between 30% and 80% of the area’s median income based on household size (2024 numbers below).
