The goal of the Almost Home program is to help people prepare and become eligible for Fox Cities Habitat’s Homebuyer program or to buy a home on the open market. We can provide guidance for prospective homeowners who may not currently meet our criteria, have too low of income or too much debt.
Each year we partner with nearly 100 families to give them the extra boost they need to become successful homeowners. Services are also provided to existing Fox Cities Habitat homebuyer individuals and families who find themselves behind on their mortgage, or who are facing a challenge to pay their monthly mortgage due to a change in their financial situation.

The Almost Home team addresses the needs of prospective homeowners who struggle financially to buy or keep their homes. Our ultimate goal is to build long-term security for their family. Future homebuyers learn how to save for a home even with a low income.
Every situation is as unique as each family we serve. Our Almost Home case managers stand beside the homeowner before and after they’ve achieved their goal of homeownership.
This takes commitment, focus and work from future homeowners, but they aren’t doing it alone. We have HUD-certified housing counselors and Qualified Loan Originators on staff to guide families toward applying for Fox Cities Habitat’s Homebuyer program.
Our goal is to partner with families to create the right balance between finances, debt and income to become eligible for the Fox Cities Habitat Homebuyer program.
We have educational programs and resources to guide toward the goal of homeownership that include:
“Habitat gave me lots of great advice about my finances and helped me by taking me step by step to reach my goals.
They were such a wonderful help to me, and I appreciated their honesty. Habitat gave me lots of hope for the future.”
