We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This program offers grants to qualified organizations to support local self-help housing construction projects, specifically aimed at very-low- and low-income individuals and families in rural areas. The initiative encourages these groups to actively participate in building their own homes, contributing a significant portion of the construction labor with the guidance and technical support from the overseeing organizations. Eligible regions for project implementation can be determined through the USDA Eligibility Site. Fund utilization includes providing technical and supervisory assistance to participant families, aiding other organizations in offering similar assistance, recruiting families, assisting them in completing loan applications, and facilitating other activities necessary for their participation. Further details can be found on the funder's website.
