Rural self-help housing technical assist

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Housing Service awarded a $319,200 Project Grant on October 28, 2024 to West Tuality Habitat For Humanity, a non-profit organization, under the Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program (CFDA 10.420). This grant enables West Tuality Habitat For Humanity to provide technical assistance services that guide very low- and low-income individuals and families in rural Oregon through the process of constructing their own homes by contributing sweat equity labor. The funded activities include providing construction expertise, homebuyer education, financial counseling, and community outreach to facilitate affordable rural homeownership. Additionally, West Tuality Habitat For Humanity has participated as a sub-grantee on a prior project focused on affordable housing and organizational development, working under Habitat For Humanity International Inc. as the prime grantee.
