SOMERTON – The COVID-19 pandemic has done nothing to dampen the desire families enrolled in a self-help housing program have to achieve the dream of homeownership.
Over the past seven months, 18 families in Housing American Corporation’s mutual self-help housing program have received keys to homes they built themselves in the Rollow Estates subdivision on the city’s southwest side.
Housing America, a Somerton-based non-profit organization, helps low- to moderate-income family access low-interest financing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in return for which the families provide their own labor with the help of technical training provided to them.
