Self-Help Housing Loans
These loans are used to assist groups
of six to ten very-low or low-income families in helping each other build
homes by providing materials, site, and the skilled labor they cannot furnish.
The families must agree to work together until all homes are finished.
Rural Housing Site Loans (Section 523 and 524)
These loans are used to buy and develop building sites, including the construction of access roads, streets, and utilities. The sites must be developed on a nonprofit basis for low and moderate income families. The sale of the lots developed with Section 523 funds is limited to mutual self-help participants.Sites developed with Section 524 funds must be for housing for low and moderate income families. The sites may be sold to families, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and cooperatives eligible for assistance under any Section of Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, or any other law which provides financial assistance for housing for low income families.
Public or private nonprofit
organizations may apply.

own use.
Payment will be made for each complete
application package received.
