We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This program offers grants to qualified organizations, enabling them to guide local self-help housing construction projects. The initiative is focused on very-low- and low-income individuals and families, primarily in rural areas, who participate in the building of their own homes through mutual labor, under the organization's technical supervision. The funding can be used for technical and supervisory assistance to the families involved in construction, supporting other organizations in providing such assistance, and in the recruitment and administrative processes to facilitate family participation in these self-help projects. Eligibility for these grants is determined based on the location, which can be checked using the USDA Eligibility Site.
