Habitat Flathead Mentorship Program
The Habitat Homeownership program is unique. There is more to it than simply building and buying a home. It comes with ‘Habitat’ terms and criteria, banking and mortgage language, a large community of people volunteering and working on behalf of our homebuyers, new neighbors, and then there is everything about construction!
Our mentors will make a year-long commitment to new Habitat Homebuyers, and provide guidance and encouragement throughout the process.
