How It Works: Families at 60% to 80% of Area Median Income can qualify for the critical repair program and must be a resident of Manistee County. Handicap ramp accessibility program partner families meet the same three foundational principals as other Habitat for Humanity families:

1. The need for adequate shelter.
2. Needs to be a Consumers Energy and/or DTE customer.
3. A willingness to partner with Manistee County Habitat.

Criteria

  • Families at or below 60% Area Median Income( See chart below)

  • Both home and the property must be owned by the homeowner/occupant.

  • All projects shall be performed in compliance with local building codes.

  • All applicants must complete the Homeowner Assessment and Agreement and be interviewed by a Habitat representative.
