Build a home. Together.
Through mutual self-help housing, households work on one another’s homes with guidance and supervised construction.
Your work helps build more than one home.
Participating households work on one another’s homes with supervised construction. It takes time, shared effort, and a commitment to the group.
How a build works.
Share your interest
Tell FNPH how to reach you and where you live.
Talk about the commitment
Ask whether a group is forming. Discuss eligibility and the labor required before deciding to take part.
Build with your neighbors
Participating households contribute labor on each home in the group, with supervised construction.
Work toward a home of your own
FNPH coordinates the process with USDA Rural Development financing. USDA determines final eligibility.
Could this fit your household?
Housing and income
Households generally need low or very low income and a need for safe housing in an eligible rural area.
Time and participation
You must be willing to contribute the required labor. Talk with FNPH about the work and whether a group is forming.
