We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This program offers grants to qualified organizations to support the construction of housing by very-low- and low-income individuals and families in rural areas. The distinctive aspect of this program is that the families involved provide most of the labor for each other’s homes under the supervision of the grantee organization. The objectives of these grants include providing technical and supervisory assistance to participant families, assisting other organizations in delivering similar support, recruiting families and aiding them in the loan application process, and facilitating other activities essential for family participation in the program. Eligible areas for the program's activities can be determined using the USDA Eligibility Site, highlighting the focus on rural development.
