Approximately 65% of the construction labor is provided by the group under the direction of a construction coordinator. The remaining labor is subcontracted out. The Rural Self-Help Housing Program is available to qualified households in the low-income and very low-income categories (see income guidelines below.) Priority will be given to very low-income households. Priority may also be given to special needs housing for families with elderly or disabled members.
