We have a new program we are beginning this year called Mutual Self-Help Housing. 

Mutual Self-Help Housing consists of families working together to build their own homes. With the assistance of a skilled Habitat staff, an association of 4 to 5 families is formed. These families provide at least 65% of the labor necessary to build the homes. Most families use Rural Development's 502 Homeownership Loan Program to finance their homes. This is a low interest loan based on the family's income and is available to low and very low income families in rural areas. The families generally save between $10,000 and $30,000 in housing costs using this sweat equity method. Habitat takes on the responsibilities of training the families in construction as well as homeownership skills, keeping the families' loan records, ordering the construction materials, choosing the sites and house plans, recruiting the families and keeping them motivated throughout the construction process. 

If this program isn’t for you and you still want to be a Habitat home owner, we have many other options that may fit your needs.
