Fuller Center of Webster Parish is a relatively small affiliate located in a rural parish (county). We are limited in our financial resources and our volunteer work force. Consequently, we are currently building only 3 – 4 houses per year.
The substandard housing situation in our service area is considerable, and there are many deserving families who need to improve their living condition.
However, we are able to accept applications only once per year. From recent Homeowner Orientation and Application Seminars, we received almost 40 applications. Our Family Selection Committee will be able to choose only four (4) families, and those projects began in 2007.
If you or someone you know is interested in applying to Fuller Center of Webster Parish to become a homeowner partner, please return to this website regularly for updates. And you may also watch the newspapers for our announcement of the dates of next year’s Homeowner Orientation and Application Seminars.
- You will be considered for a Fuller Center home if your present housing is not adequate, if you are unable to obtain adequate housing through other conventional financial means, if you agree to partner with Fuller Center of Webster in building houses, and if you are able to afford a reasonable monthly mortgage payment. Lack of adequate housing may include problems with the present structure; water, electrical or sewage service systems; heating system, or failure to meet city property maintenance standards. Also taken into consideration are the number, the ages and the gender of children compared to the number of bedrooms in your present home.
- The percentage of your monthly income that you currently spend on housing is considered to determine need. You will be required to openly and fully discuss your financial situation with Fuller Center for Housing personnel.
- You and your family will be considered if your annual total income is between 30-50% of the median income for Webster Parish, Claiborne Parish.

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation.
