Single Family Housing (SFH) Programs in Oregon

Single Family Housing Programs provide homeownership opportunities to low- and moderate-income rural Americans through several loan, grant, and loan guarantee programs. The programs also make funding available to individuals to finance vital improvements necessary to make their homes decent, safe, and sanitary.

    Program List:  For more information about the following programs, please contact the office serving your local area.

     

    • Self Help Housing Loans:  Self-Help Housing loans assist groups of eight to twelve low and very-low income families who work together to build new homes under the supervision of a professional contractor. The groups perform at least 65 percent of the construction work. These groups share the common goal of home ownership and commit themselves to share in the work that will make that goal a reality. Contact the Area Office serving your county for more information and application forms.

     

    • Home Improvement/Repair Loans & Grants:  These loans and grants enable very low income rural homeowners to remove health and safety hazards from their homes, to improve or modernize them, and to make them accessible for people with disabilities. Grants are available for homeowners age 62 and older who cannot afford to repay a loan at a 1 percent interest rate.
