The Uintah Basin Association of Governments (UBAOG) has been awarded a $694,240 Project Grant from the USDA Rural Housing Service's Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program (CFDA 10.420) to assist very low- and low-income individuals and families in building their own homes in rural Utah through the self-help construction method. The grant funding will support UBAOG in providing technical assistance services that guide participants through the home-building process, including construction expertise, homebuyer education, financial counseling, and community outreach to facilitate affordable rural homeownership. UBAOG has also received additional funding from the USDA's Rural Housing Preservation Grants program and administered various housing and community services programs as a subrecipient, demonstrating its experience and capacity in delivering these types of services to rural communities.
