Volunteers build houses for low-income families who have been chosen on the basis of need for adequate shelter.  Selected families must contribute 500 hours of sweat equity on the construction of the house which is then sold to them through a no profit, no interest mortgage.  The length of time between when a family is selected, to the time the project is completed, can be as long as one and 1/2 years. Provides limited help for home repairs if the homeowner can contribute Sweat Equity hours representative of the size of the project.
