Habitat Home Buying Program 

Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio is a non-profit, faith based organization working in partnership with God’s people in need of a simple, decent and affordable home. Habitat builds new 3 & 4 bedroom homes. Each home has one bath and an option to purchase an extra bath and costs approximately $53,000-$54,000.

We offer a 20-year loan with NO INTEREST! Payments are approximately $375 to $425 per month (this includes homeowner’s insurance and property taxes). A $1300.00 down payment is required (covers first year homeowner’s insurance, property taxes, and closing costs).

Once in the program, 300 sweat equity hours of time and labor must be invested in your home as well as homes of other Habitat households. Homeowners attend required homeowner education meetings.

It takes an average of 6 – 9 months to complete the program.
