Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP)

Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) is a grant from HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development that funds nonprofits and consortia of nonprofits to support self-help homeownership housing activities. The program provides per-unit funding to purchase land, install infrastructure, and cover reasonable costs associated with supervising volunteer labor contributed by homebuyers.

SHOP is designed to reduce construction costs and enable lower-income families to achieve homeownership through sweat equity. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations and consortia of nonprofits with demonstrated capacity to carry out self-help homeownership programs. The program expects approximately seven awards.
