1. Do I Qualify?

There are different types of homes available through NRHT, and each one has its own eligibility criteria based on income levels—ranging from low to moderate. Your household income helps us match you with homes that fit your situation.

Not sure if you qualify? That’s okay.
Don’t count yourself out. We encourage everyone to apply or attend one of our info sessions. It’s our job to help you figure out eligibility and walk you through the process—we’re here to help, not judge.

3.Selection & Preparation

If you’re eligible and want to move forward, there’s a $35 fee for a soft credit check—this won’t impact your score or show up as an inquiry. It helps us get a complete picture of your financial situation and gives you a copy of your full credit report, too.

Next, we’ll meet to discuss which homes you’re eligible for. If you find a home you love, we’ll help you work with a lender, secure a pre-approval, and move forward with a purchase contract.
