Applications Are Available for Affordable Homeownership in Wellfleet and Dennis
Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod has announced that applications are now available, with a deadline of Monday, May 13, 2024, for four three-bedroom homes that will be built on Jack Delaney Lane (at 401 Setucket Road) in Dennis and four homes (two two-bedroom and two three-bedroom) at 2254 Old Kings Hwy, Wellfleet. The homes will be a mixture of ranch and Cape styles.
The maximum household income for the houses is 60% of the area median income for two homes and 80% for two homes at each location. For a four-person household, the current maximum income at 60% is $69,060; at 80%, it is $92,050. These income guidelines are adjusted annually.
The applicant household must be willing to commit 250-500 hours of sweat equity to build the home and have a housing need. The monthly housing payment (mortgage, taxes, insurance, homeowner association) for these homes is estimated to be around $1,062 - $1,582, depending on the cost of taxes, insurance, changing interest rates, and other terms.
