In addition to ACCT's single-family ownership program, which serves households earning up to 120% of Area Median Income by providing 20% downpayment grants up to $44,000, Habitat for Humanity is another great resource for Addison County residents seeking to own an affordable home. While ACCT homebuyers must be able to secure their own financing by qualifying for a traditional mortgage & must find prospective homes at market prices, Habitat offers a unique alternative. Buyers typically make 50-70% of Area Median Income, and both the homes and the mortgages are highly affordable--homes are built with volunteer labor and sold at cost, and no interest is charged on the house payments.
