Haywood Habitat accepting homeowner applications

Habitat houses are sold at the organization’s cost with a zero interest mortgage to keep monthly payments affordable.

All applicants must be residents of North Carolina for a minimum of 12 months and living in Haywood County at the time of application.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
