We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
The grant program focuses on supporting local organizations in guiding groups of very-low- and low-income families through the process of constructing their own homes in rural areas. The primary goal is to enable these individuals and families to provide most of the construction labor for each other's homes under the supervision and technical assistance of the grant recipient organization. Eligible areas for the program can be determined through the USDA Eligibility Site. The funds may be used for providing technical and supervisory assistance to the participating families, aiding other organizations in offering such assistance, recruiting families, assisting them with loan applications, and supporting related activities that facilitate their participation in the program.
