An affordable 30-year mortgage will be held by Morris Habitat. The home will have a minimum 30-year deed restriction that allows modest equity upon resale, but mandates that it be sold at an affordable price to another income-eligible family. The prospective homeowners will contribute a minimum of 300 hours of sweat equity helping to build their home as well as other homes.
Project: 
The large, wooded lot on a cul-de-sac was donated by a subsidiary of Lakeland Bank. The property is very deep, and a large portion is protected by a conservation easement.
The new home will feature 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a well and a septic system. Sale price will not exceed $267,000.
The Morris County Office of Community Development awarded Morris Habitat a HUD HOME Investment Partnerships Program grant for this project. A donation was also given by Faegre Drinker.
