Self Help Housing
Take your step towards the American Dream of homeownership today! In this program, participants contribute significant “sweat equity” towards the construction of their homes, bringing down development costs and producing a more affordable home.
Each family contributes a minimum number of hours of labor per week towards the homes until all houses in the cohort are done and ready to move in. This program helps make housing affordable. A construction supervisor helps the homeowners with construction guidance and coordinates all aspects of the build.
Call UAACOG and ask to speak to someone in the housing department about the Self-Help Program.
