LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Selecting qualified families for the Habitat for Humanity Homeownership program is a responsibility and process that involves numerous volunteers. 

The family selection caseworkers collects preliminary applications, meets with prospective families to discover their needs and explain how the program works, and, if a family chooses to continue the process, the caseworkers will assist them throughout the application process. 

Qualified prospective families are selected by the Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors, after which time the caseworkers continue to work with partner families as long as is needed to help the family through the homebuilding process to the day the keys are presented and the partners become homeowners.
 
Guiding our partners through the process takes dedication, and the volunteer caseworkers who undertake this work spend many hours working with applicants and sorting through the necessary documentation that must be gathered in order for qualification to be determined. 

Anyone interested in assisting the family selection group is encouraged to contact the office for a volunteer application and to talk with the family selection group volunteers to learn how you can help.
 
Preapplications for homeownership or volunteer applications can be found at www.lakehabitat.org , picked up at the office at 16285A Main St. in Lower Lake, or via mail by calling 707-994-1100.
