R6 Regional Council and USDA Rural Development are looking for six local families to participate in the Self-Help Housing Program in Loa. This program is scheduled to begin in 2027.
The program offers participants the opportunity to build homes alongside neighbors without requiring prior construction experience, as a dedicated construction supervisor will provide guidance throughout the process. Benefits of the program include no down payment requirement, low interest rates, low monthly payments, and the ability to earn instant equity in a new home.
To be eligible, applicants must not currently own a home, must meet specific household income limits, and must be able to commit to 30 hours of weekly group labor. Additionally, participants must be eligible for a USDA Loan.
Interested individuals can contact Kayla Ballow with R6 Regional Council at 435-893-0749 or kballow@r6.utah.gov to check income qualifications and obtain an application.
