This grant program aims to support qualified organizations in conducting local self-help housing construction projects. It specifically targets very-low- and low-income individuals and families in rural areas, encouraging them to collaboratively build their own homes with the help of the recipient organization. The organization provides technical and supervisory assistance while the future homeowners contribute most of the construction labor. Grant funds may be used for various supportive activities including technical and supervisory assistance, recruitment of participating families, and aiding in loan application processes. Eligibility for this grant relies on the location of the project, with a tool available to check eligible areas.
