The Mutual Self-Help Housing Program gives you the opportunity to build your own house. Working together with other families, you will learn valuable construction skills as you build your own house. No construction experience is required because our construction supervisor will guide you every step of the way. The months that you spend building your home can save you as much as $20,000, and there’s never a payment to make during construction.
Design Your Own House
You will choose your house lot and work with other families in the same area to build one other’s homes. You will choose the colors of your siding, roofing, paint, carpet, flooring, and cabinets. Your house will be uniquely yours!
