We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This program is designed to offer grants to qualified organizations, with the goal of assisting them in managing local self-help housing construction projects. These projects involve very-low- and low-income individuals and families who participate actively in the construction of their own homes, primarily in rural areas. Group members contribute the majority of the labor required to build each other’s homes, while receiving technical assistance from the overseeing organization. The program supports activities like providing technical and supervisory support to families, helping other organizations offer similar assistance, recruiting families, aiding with loan applications, and facilitating participation in these housing construction efforts.
