Habitat for Humanity of Citrus County, Inc. will build 178 low to very low-income homes in Citrus Springs (just south of Marion County, FL) over the next decade. We started building 22 homes last fiscal year (2022/23) after receiving the final permits from Citrus County the end of last year. HFHCC plans to build 30 homes annually in Citrus Springs and we currently have over 40 families in our pipeline awaiting construction.
Habitat at Citrus Springs is for qualified families of all ages and sizes that are asset limited - income constrained and, willing to work during the home building process. Qualified families must demonstrate the ability to afford a modest mortgage payment
including property taxes and insurance. This is a Deed Restricted community with all the rights, benefits and responsibilities associated with homeownership and being a good neighbor.
As you review our program, we ask that you keep in mind that the essential workers in our community who engage in the service sector of the economy, along with veterans and retired folks are in great need for affordable housing, especially now with home prices and rentals being so high. Habitat is a permanent solution that addresses this critical issue for qualified potential buyers who are willing to work for homeownership.
This program is not a hand-out! It is a hand up!
We respectfully ask for your help and support. You may have financial or like resources you can contribute to help build and finance these homes or you may want to join our essential volunteer core building the homes or serving in our ReStores. Your
heartfelt participation is meaningful to the many families shutout of decent affordable housing in Citrus County. It is within our grasp to remedy this critical need together as a community with good spirit and commitment.
