About Us
Thank you for your interest in Habitat for Humanity of Martha’s Vineyard and our Homeownership Program. For nearly over 25 years Habitat MV has built homes and fulfilled dreams in partnership with hardworking individuals and families. Through a collaborative effort, Habitat MV works towards increasing the affordable housing stock in our community. Homes are sold to qualifying partner homebuyers and financed with affordable loans.
How It Works:
With the support of community partners, donors, and volunteers, Habitat MV constructs new homes alongside Habitat Partner Homebuyers. Our homeownership program is designed to assist low-income first-time homebuyers to achieve homeownership.
Habitat homes are sold to partner homebuyers at no profit and financed with affordable loans. In addition to a down payment and monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest sweat equity hours building their future Habitat home and the homes of other Habitat Homebuyers. Interested applicants must submit an application and meet program eligibility requirements.
One of our key objectives at Habitat for Humanity MV is sustainability. We both reduce cost, and carbon footprint, by reusing salvaged materials wherever possible. What we can’t use in our next projects, we sell in our ReStores or social media groups to support the ongoing Habitat efforts.
