Latest Self-Help Cohort Starts Construction on their New Homes

Six new households started building their way to homeownership in early February as the newest cohort of MHO’s Self-Help Homeownership program. They are constructing their new homes in Spring Garden, one of MHO’s latest homeownership developments in the Enka-Candler community. Under the guidance of a professional construction supervisor, Self-Helpers build their way into homeownership through hard work and financial tools that serve income-limited, first-time homebuyers. Homes are financed with low-interest USDA mortgages and “sweat equity” construction hours, reducing the overall purchase cost. Click below to learn more.

“I am always inspired by Self-Helpers. They represent what many of us think of as ‘the American Dream.’ They are navigating individual and societal challenges, tapping into opportunities, and putting in their own labor to achieve their homeownership goals.”

- Megan Kirby, Homeownership Program Specialist
