Homeowner Candidate Bio Builder

Homeowner Candidate Bio Builder
Welcome, Future Homeowner!

We’re so excited to welcome you to the Habitat for Humanity program officially. As part of your Habitat Partnership Agreement, this completed questionnaire and a family photo are required before your Welcome to Habitat orientation.

✅ You’ll receive 3 hours of sweat equity credit for completing it—remember to record it on your current sweat equity sheet, and we’ll approve the hours when you turn it in.

Why This Matters

The information you share will be used to create your official Habitat Family Bio. This bio will be featured on our website and shared with volunteers, donors, and sponsors who are part of your homeownership journey.

Your story helps others understand the impact of their support—and may inspire someone to give, volunteer, or apply themselves. Only share what you’re comfortable with. To review other family bios for reference, please click here.

Community Partner Preferences
Bicycles

Habitat occasionally receives donated bicycles through community partners for dedication day gifts. While we cannot guarantee bicycle availability, if you have children ages 15 and under in your household, please select the bicycle size that you believe would best fit each child. To help us estimate the most appropriate size, please consider your child's expected height in one year rather than their current height.
Please list each child's name and the bicycle size from the chart above that would best fit their height.
Feeding Tampa Bay

Habitat partners with Feeding Tampa Bay to help stock your pantry for move-in on Dedication Day. To help ensure any food and pantry items provided are appropriate for your family, please share any food allergies, dietary restrictions, sensitivities, or religious food preferences for members of your household.
Please list any food allergies/restrictions in your family. Type 'none' if there are none.
