Asheville Habitat for Humanity accepting applications for homeownership programs elisfkc2 / Flickr / CC BY-SA 2.0 ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — The Asheville Habitat for Humanity is now accepting applications for their homeownership programs. Nearly half of local renters pay more than 30% of their income on rent, and 20% pay more than half of their income on housing. And now, between pandemic-related job loss and reduction, an influx of out-of-town buyers, a limited supply of affordable homes, and a looming eviction crisis, affordable housing is needed more than ever. Though in-person Information Sessions have been suspended due to Covid-19, those interested can watch a short video overview of the program at ashevillehabitat.org and download an application. For specific questions contact apply@ashevillehabitat.org or call 828-554-3032.
