The Habitat for Humanity Affiliate in Newark, New Jersey has teamed up with the Ironbound Community
Corp to build/rehab affordable housing in a residential neighborhood of the Ironbound. You may qualify
to purchase one of the units “to be built/rehabbed.”
- Is your current housing unsafe, overcrowded, poorly maintained, and or too expensive for you?
- Are you and your family willing to work a minimum of 100 to 400 hours to help build your home, and the homes of your Habitat for Humanity neighbors?
- Is your annual gross family income at least $25,300 but no more than $61,500?
- Do you keep current with all bills and payments? Are all legal liens or judgments paid?
If you answered Yes to these questions, then we invite you to join us for a Free Habitat for Humanity Application Orientation meeting.
When: Saturday, December 4th - 10:00am
Where: St. James Church
142 Jefferson Street Newark, New Jersey | Map/Directions
