Frequently Asked Questions
When will construction be complete?
Construction for Whitaker Woods is projected to be complete by 2024. Weather, permitting, and other factors may affect the actual timeline.
Do families receive their homes for free?
No. All Habitat homeowners undergo a rigorous approval process and must contribute 500 hours of sweat equity helping to build their homes and the homes of their neighbors. They attend homeownership and budgeting classes and make a downpayment and their first year’s insurance payment before closing. They sign a no-interest mortgage and make affordable monthly payments to purchase their homes over an average term of about 30 years.
Does having Habitat families in my school district negatively affect school ratings?
Absolutely not! In fact, school grades in the area have increased since Habitat began building homes in Naples in the 1990s.
Will the additional homes have a negative impact on existing water and sewer infrastructure?
No. Habitat Collier is actually investing to improve infrastructure, which will benefit the community as a whole.
