The Mutual Self-Help Housing Program

Homeowners Josh Riggsby and Billy Hamm, front, along with Assistant Construction Supervisor Robert Plank, install planks for the decking on Hamm’s home at Hazel Tree Lane.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been funding mutual self-help housing since 1965. The self-help housing model uses homeowner-contributed labor to reduce the costs of their homes. Self-help housing also does more than simply build affordable homes: it builds neighborhoods, strengthens families, and creates wealth. Self-help homebuyers share a commitment to hard work, mutual support, and long-term stability.
