CRHDC operates a Self Help housing program in partnership with USDA Rural Development. In this program, participants contribute significant “sweat equity” towards the construction of their home, bringing down development costs and producing a more affordable home. Self Help participants work in collaboration with 5-8 other families building their homes under the supervision of a construction manager. In addition to a reduced purchase price, participants can select from different house plans and learn new skills. Participants attend homebuyer education class and purchase the home with a mortgage product that requires no down payment and low interest. CRHDC has developed over 1500 homes across the State of Colorado through the Self Help housing program.
