We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
The grant program aims to support qualified organizations in executing local self-help housing construction projects. It specifically targets very-low- and low-income individuals and families in rural areas, assisting them in constructing their own homes through a collaborative labor effort. The organizations receiving these grants are expected to provide technical assistance, supervise construction work, assist with loan applications, and engage in activities to support and recruit participating families. The grant also enables the provision of technical and supervisory assistance to other organizations and groups engaged in similar self-help housing projects.
