“We’re asking the community to help us spread the word that we are now accepting applications from families and individuals in need of safe, decent, affordable housing,” explains, Ashley Bergau, Family Services Coordinator of Habitat for Humanity of Lansing.
To qualify for a Habitat for Humanity home, applicants must have income which meets our income guidelines and pass a credit check.
