Building Homes Together

CRHDC has helped over 2,000 families build their homes in 30 different counties through the USDA Rural Development Mutual Self-Help program, which allows new home buyers to take an active role in the construction of their own homes. In this program, participants contribute significant “sweat equity” towards the construction of their home, bringing down development costs and producing a more affordable home. Each family contributes a minimum of 30 hours of labor per week towards the homes for approximately 6 to 8 months.

"This is something that I’ve always wanted, my own home, which I helped build. I learned building skills that will last me a lifetime.”

“The program has given me the opportunity to build my own house at a reasonable and affordable cost than if I had purchased or built one on my own. These are good homes and the people with CRHDC have been great to work with."

"It gives you better appreciation for your home and then you get to know your community and know your neighbors and you feel safe and feel comfortable in your environment."
