Self-Help Housing Corporation of Hawaii

The Self-Help Housing Corporation of Hawaii is dedicated to assisting low-income families across the Hawaiian Islands in building their own homes through a collaborative self-help housing model. Since its inception in 1984, the organization has empowered 732 families by providing the necessary technical assistance and training in construction skills, enabling them to create personalized homes without prior experience.

Participants earn significant sweat equity by working alongside other families to build each other's houses, while also gaining valuable knowledge in budgeting, construction, and home maintenance. With no payments required during the construction phase, families have the opportunity to choose design elements for their homes, making each house uniquely their own.
