  • Self-Help Housing Development

    REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT - IN THE LAST 4 YEARS, WE HAVE PRIMARILY FOCUSED OUR DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE SELF-HELP HOUSING PROGRAM INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUTNER NEIGHBORHOOD 40 HOME COMMUNITY. STARTED IN 1997, THE SELF-HELP HOUSING PROGRAM IS A HOMEOWNERSHIP SWEAT EQUITY PROGRAM THAT GIVES INCOME QUALIFIED FAMILIES THE MEANS TO CONSTRUCT THEIR OWN HOMES. PARTICIPATING FAMILIES PERFORM APPROXIMATELY 65% OF THE CONSTRUCTION LABOR, UNDER QUALIFIED SUPERVISION, ON EACH OTHER'S HOMES. THE USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROVIDES A SUBSIDIZED INTEREST RATE ON THE PARTICIPANTS' CONSTRUCTION FINANCING AND THEIR PERMANENT FINANCING. THE COMBINATION OF THE SUBSIDIZED INTEREST RATE AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF LABOR SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCES THE COST OF EACH HOME AND PROVIDES THE OWNERS WITH AN EQUITY BOOST FROM THE OUTSET OF THEIR OWNERSHIP TENURE.
