Download the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" application from ABC.com. Required information includes the family members' names, the address of the house and the household income. You must also make note of the family members' community service, the type of property and any debt or criminal or lawsuit activity. You'll also need to write about the reasons the family and their home deserve to receive services from "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
Compile a video of the inspirational family, in addition to providing photos of the family and house. The video serves as a tour of the house and an introduction to the family. Each member of the household must be on camera and speak at least once. The video should be about 5 to 10 minutes long. ABC prefers that you upload the video to a file-sharing site such as YouTube or YouSendIt with private links. If this is not possible, ABC accepts videos in other formats. These include DVD, VHS and mini DVD formats. ABC does not accept VHS-C or High 8 movies. You can apply without a video, but recent pictures of the house as well as all members of the household are required.
Mail the completed application, photos and video to:
