Habitat for Humanity home to be dedicated in Port Angeles on Sunday as new applicants are sought

PORT ANGELES — Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County will dedicate one home on Maloney Court in Port Angeles and is seeking a buyer for another one.

The dedication will be at 1:30 p.m. Sunday at 1622 Maloney Court.

Applications for a home will be offered at an orientation meeting at 7 p.m. today.

The meeting will be at the First Federal Business Center at the corner of First and Oak streets.

A second meeting is planned at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Elwha Klallam Heritage Center, 401 E. First St.

On Sunday, the public is invited to the dedication ceremony, which will include a tour of the three-bedroom, two-bath home.

Ground was broken on the home March 14. It is the fourth home completed in Maloney Heights and the 28th in Clallam County, said Cyndi Hueth, executive director.

Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to providing decent, affordable housing in partnership with low-income families throughout Clallam County.

Families help build the homes and purchase them with a no-interest mortgage.

Mortgage payments go into a revolving fund used to build more houses.

■ A monthly household gross income of between $1,600 and $1,800, depending on family size.

■ U.S. citizenship or permanent residency.

■ Current living situation that is either unsafe, unhealthy or overcrowded.

■ Currently spending greater than 30 percent of gross household income on rent.

■ Willing and able to accept a no- or low-interest loan and repay the cost of the home.

■ Willing to contribute 250 to 500 hours of volunteer work directly with Habitat.

Applicants must prequalify for a USDA 502 loan during the Habitat application process.

Application packets can be obtained at the meetings or at the Habitat for Humanity office and store, 728 E. Front St., between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

All completed applications and backup information are due to Habitat’s Port Angeles office by close of business Tuesday, April 26.
