Rural self-help housing technical assist

The Marshall Islands Development Bank received a $398,014 project grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service under the Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program (CFDA 10.420). The grant will support the provision of technical assistance services to help very low- and low-income individuals and families in the United States build homes using the self-help method from June 2022 through March 2023. The Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program aims to provide financial assistance to qualified nonprofits and public bodies that assist rural residents in constructing homes themselves, reducing construction costs. The Marshall Islands Development Bank will utilize the funding to deliver technical support services that will help eligible individuals and their families construct rural housing through self-help efforts over the nine-month grant period.
