• How it works: It is a new townhome (it shares walls with the homes next to it), with a reasonably priced loan from Habitat. Its page says there are 26 homes.
• Who: households that Habitat reviews. The maximum income, the immigration status and whether you must be a first-time buyer are still to be confirmed with Habitat.
• How to apply: with the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami application. It only works to buy in Leisure City.

This is not down payment money. The project is by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami. In this case, it is not money: it is a new 3-bedroom, 2-bath home.

A townhome shares walls with the homes next to it. If you are looking for down payment money for a home you choose, this is not that assistance: the finder below shows you the ones that are.

Habitat’s page does not publish all of its requirements, and we are not going to make them up. What it does say: the household has to earn at least $55,000 a year, whatever its size. About the income cap, this is what is known:

This assistance does not publish an income limit.

This is what is still to be confirmed and that we do not ask you about in the finder. Confirm it with Habitat before you count on the home:

• The page does not publish how much your household can earn at most, which immigration status they ask for, or whether you must be a first-time buyer; Habitat confirms it (305-634-3628).
• Ask how many of the 26 homes are left.
• Habitat says it is building 7 of them between October 1 and November 21, 2026; ask when they will be ready.

2. 2Decide whether Leisure City works for youThe home is there, in the south of the county. If the area does not work for you, this route is not yours.
3. 3Call Habitat with your questions written downThe list above has Habitat’s phone number. Ask the maximum income, the immigration status they ask for, whether you must be a first-time buyer, how many homes are left and when they will be ready.
4. 4Fill out Habitat’s applicationYou apply with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami, not with a lender. Use its application page.

In the assistance finder you can see which programs fit you and compare this one with others. The Assistance Tracker shows each program’s status with the date we checked it. This guide explains how Habitat Acres works, but it does not replace what Habitat confirms.
