The Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity Family Selection Committee’s mission is to choose families with the greatest and most immediate need while fulfilling the requirements of severity of need, ability to pay, and willingness to partner. The Committee holds informational meetings at local venues and solicits applications from potential families. The process involves receiving the application, USDA Pre-Qualification, and need analysis, and then qualified families are interviewed. After a thorough review process, all qualified families are entered into a lottery. Once a family is chosen, construction begins.
