Mutual Self-Help Housing Program offered at Housing Kitsap
Allows income eligible applicants the opportunity to own their own home by participating in groups of 8 to 12 to build each others homes with lots of help and training from Housing Kitsap. Mortgage (principal and interest) payments are based on your income, not the current market interest rate, and therefore are generally more affordable for families and individuals with income at or below 80% of the county median income as determined by HUD.
