What does homeownership mean to YOU?
“Owning a home is a keystone of wealth
— both financial affluence and emotional security.”~ Suze Orman
• An asset to pass down to family members
• Putting money towards a permanent place to live
rather than a temporary one
• Taking pride in having a place to call “yours”
• Owning a house that you can call HOME

Frequently Asked Questions
HabiJax sells homes to families, right?
CORRECT! Some think that HabiJax houses are given away or donated. HabiJax homeowners qualify for affordable
loans and make monthly mortgage payments repaying the loan, along with property taxes, homeowners insurance
and, if applicable, homeowner's association fees. Your mortgage payment will be 30% or less of your monthly income.
Who does HabiJax sell homes to?
HabiJax is an equal housing lender so anyone who qualify for a loan is eligible to buy a home from us. Our families are
very diverse - single people or parents, and married couples with or without children.
Where does HabiJax build homes?
HabiJax builds in the Urban Core of Jacksonville - the neighborhoods that surround the downtown area. We build here
because these are the areas with the greatest need, and the land is affordable so it helps keep our costs low and the
houses affordable.
Is HabiJax a government program?
No. HabiJax is a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, a worldwide nonprofit organization.
