The grant program aims to support qualified organizations in executing local self-help housing construction projects, particularly in rural areas. It focuses on enabling very-low- and low-income individuals and families to build their own homes through mutual labor. The grant funds are used to provide technical and supervisory assistance, help organizations offer such assistance, recruit families, assist them in loan application processes, and support other activities facilitating this participatory construction model. Eligible areas for these projects can be checked through a specified eligibility site.
