We work with local workers and families who may not qualify for a traditional mortgage or have a large down payment. Our tailored education, support, and down payment assistance ensure you can purchase a home with long-term affordability and security. With Rice County Habitat, you are not just buying a house but investing in your future and building generational wealth.

Step 2:
LET US KNOW YOU'VE COMPLETED AN ENERGY AUDIT
Tell us by filling out this FORM and you can request some assistance from a local Rotarian.
Step 3: IMPLEMENT THE SUGGESTIONS FROM THE ENERGY AUDIT WITH THE HELP OF A LOCAL ROATARIAN (Northfield only)
When you fill out the form to let us know you've done an energy audit, you'll have an opportunity to request help from a Northfield Rotarian who will help you decide the next best thing to do in your house. We understand that when you get the energy audit results back you may still be left with questions... like "What do I do now?" or "Who do I call for improvements?" These Rotarians are Rotary Energy Volunteers who can help you navigate the next steps. You'll be connected with one of these volunteers when you fill out the form telling us you've completed the energy audit.
