How are homes selected?

The house selection committee accepts applications from homeowners with an income level of $14,000 or less, and unable to work themselves.   Referrals come from non-profit agencies, churches, and individuals.  The amount of work and the type of work and total funds needed dictate the criteria for approval.  Once reviewed, the house selection committee submits the home to the Christmas in April board of directors for approval.  A house captain is selected to supervise the work to be done, coordinate the work project and report to the board of directors the materials required and number of volunteers needed.
