We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This grant program is designed to provide financial support to qualified organizations that assist in local self-help housing construction projects. It primarily targets very-low- and low-income individuals and families in rural areas, encouraging them to participate in the construction of their own homes. The distinctive element of the program is that groups of participants provide most of the construction labor on each other’s homes, benefiting from the technical assistance and supervision provided by the recipient organizations. The grant supports activities such as giving technical and supervisory assistance, helping organizations in offering such assistance, recruiting families, and facilitating their participation in the program through activities like completing loan applications. Eligibility areas for the program can be checked through specified online resources.
