Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity Homeowner Applications Events

As the summer comes to an end, the Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity is getting ready to help community member move into the organization's newest homes. 

Every year in Rockford, our local Habitat for Humanity chapter works hard with additional volunteers to build houses for our community.

At the end of the summer is where the real magic happens. That's when the Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity looks for local families to move into these new houses.

This is a very big decision for both the families applying and the Habitat for Humanity as there are qualifications that the homeowners must have to apply.

In order to make the process as easy as possible, the Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity is hosting a slew of events between August 13 and September 7 for potential homeowners and any who is interested in learning more about the program.

The first event is on Tuesday August 13 at 5pm at Brooke Road United Methodist Church in Rockford.
