We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This grant program aims to support local self-help housing construction projects by providing grants to qualified organizations. These organizations assist groups of very-low- and low-income individuals and families in constructing their own homes in rural areas, where group members contribute significantly to the construction labor of each other's homes under the organization's guidance. The primary activities supported by these funds include technical and supervisory assistance to participating families, enabling other organizations to provide similar assistance, and aiding in the recruitment of families and the completion of loan applications necessary for participation. Eligibility for these opportunities can be verified through specified areas indicated by the funder.
