The Mutual Self Help Housing Program assists families interested in participating in the program in establishing their eligibility for a home loan from USDA-Rural Development. When a group of participants (usually 4 to 7 households) is formed, they all work together to build homes for the entire group. ICAP contracts with a construction supervisor to work with the home-builders and teach them the various skills they need in order to construct their homes.
In addition, ICAP has received funds from the Housing Assistance Council under the Self-help Housing Opportunities Program (SHOP) to use in developing building lots for participants in the Self-Help Housing program.
In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs).
