Project Grant PLAS52010733898078021

The Housing Authority of Southeastern Utah received a $1.116 million Project Grant awarded on March 5, 2027, under the Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program (CFDA 10.420), funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Single Family Housing Program. This grant will support the provision of technical assistance services through December 5, 2027, to very low- and low-income individuals and families in rural Utah who are constructing homes using the mutual self-help construction method. The organization will deliver expertise in supporting affordable housing development, preservation, and repair initiatives for eligible households that cannot obtain modest housing through conventional means.

As an experienced nonprofit sub-awardee, the Housing Authority of Southeastern Utah will leverage its demonstrated expertise in self-help housing technical assistance—evidenced by prior grants totaling over $1 million since 2019—to guide participants through the self-help construction process. The award addresses clearly defined community need in rural Southeastern Utah and reflects the program's commitment to expanding affordable housing opportunities for low-income rural families through collaborative, self-directed construction approaches. This funding is consistent with the organization's ongoing mission to provide comprehensive technical support services for rural housing development in the region.
