Children play in the driveway of one of the 30 homes families built in Hollister during 13 months. Low-income families worked 40 hours a week to raise walls and hammer nails for the group of houses.

A “Self-Help Home” is indeed made with sweat and with the necessary help from an assortment of loans. The best of all made my eyes pop wide.  The State of California Department of housing and Community Development contributed up to $60,000 with ZERO percent interest. That makes me the most proud. “Hooray,” for government like that!
