Applications Are Available for Affordable Homeownership in Bourne, Brewster, & Falmouth
 
YARMOUTH PORT, MA - Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod has announced that applications are now available, with a deadline of Monday, September 15, 2025, for one three-bedroom home at 26 Horne Ave. Bourne, two homes (one two-bedroom and one three-bedroom) on Mackie Drive (at 3571 Main Street) Brewster, and four homes (all three-bedroom) at 805 Gifford Street Ext., Falmouth. The homes will be a mixture of ranch and Cape styles.
 
The maximum household income for the houses is 60% of the area median income for Bourne, one home in Brewster and two in Falmouth, and 80% for one in Brewster and two in Falmouth. For a four-person household, the current maximum income at 60% is $80,100; at 80%, it is $106,800. These income guidelines are adjusted annually.
 
The applicant household must be willing to commit 250-500 hours of sweat equity to build the home and have a housing need. The monthly housing payment (mortgage, taxes, insurance, homeowner association) for these homes is estimated to be around $1,562 - $2,071, depending on the cost of taxes, insurance, changing interest rates, and other terms.
