High land and infrastructure costs in affordable housing development prevent economic development and community empowerment. The Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) provides grants to nonprofits assisting low-income families in building homes through sweat equity. Local organizations can access SHOP funding by partnering with one of the national or regional funding recipients.
