We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This grant program supports qualified organizations in supervising very-low- and low-income individuals and families in rural areas to construct their own homes. The participants provide most of the construction labor for each other's homes under the organization's technical guidance. The program's goals include empowering communities through self-help housing projects, enhancing technical skills, and promoting homeownership among very-low to low-income families. The grant funds can be used for technical and supervisory assistance, helping organizations provide such assistance, recruiting families, aiding in loan application processes, and related activities to enable family participation in the program.
