Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for a home?

The first step would be to contact us and send us basic information about you: name, phone number, and address. We then can mail out a pre-screen that gives you more information about Nassau Habitat for Humanity. It also has a couple sections that should be filled out and sent back to us so we can work out what the next step will be. Our services tab also provides more information on this topic. If you have any other questions about applying, please feel free to contact us!



What materials can I donate?

Thank you for wanting to donate to us! We usually put new products in the home as they tend to have warranties. This prevents the homeowner from having to spend money on a product within a short period of time after moving in. If you have other questions about donating, please contact us so we can help!
