We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This program offers grants to qualified organizations for the execution of local self-help housing construction projects. It targets very-low- and low-income individuals and families in rural areas, allowing them to build their own homes collectively with technical assistance from the overseeing organization. Grant activities include providing technical and supervisory assistance, recruiting families, assisting them with loan applications, and other enabling activities. Eligibility for these grants is determined through the USDA Eligibility Site, which identifies general eligible rural areas.
