Step 1 of 5
Apply for Housing
THI's Homeownership Program helps low-income Santa Ana families buy a home. Here is who can apply, what to bring and what happens after THI receives your application.
- 14 items on THI's application checklist
- 30 days for your written notice after THI decides
- $250 minimum monthly payment you must be able to make
Who can apply
To join the Homeownership Program, your household must meet THI's admission requirements. The main ones are:
- You are a tribal member, and everyone in your household meets Pueblo residency requirements.
- Your household income is at or below HUD's low-income limit for your household size.
- You can make a monthly payment of at least the $250 administration charge and keep up a home.
- The head of household or spouse is 18 or older.
- Your family is without safe and sanitary housing.
- You owe nothing to THI, and you have not received a new home through another homeownership program.
The full list, including the criminal history rules, is in Section III.A of THI's policies.
What to bring
THI processes your application only when every item on its checklist comes with it. Answer a few questions and get your own list, with the income limit for your household size.
The THI shall not accept incomplete applications.
Two ways to apply
Apply online
Fill in the application on your phone or computer, upload copies of your documents and sign it with your typed name. THI records the date and time it arrives.
Apply on paper
Print the application packet, sign it and bring it with your documents to the THI office at 37B Day School Road, or mail it there. THI staff stamp the date and time when they receive it.
The application must be signed and dated by the applicant(s) with the date and time stamped and initialed by THI staff when received.
After you apply
THI checks what you send. It may ask your employer to confirm your income and may run a credit check.
You get a letter telling you whether you are eligible. If a home is available, the letter says where it is, how many bedrooms it has and when it will be ready. If no home is available yet, you go on the waiting list.
Each applicant will be given written notice of their eligibility within thirty (30) days of the determination.
