  • The promotion of the Self-Help Housing Program as a viable answer to rural housing needs

Information About the National Rural Housing Coalition

For over 50 years the National Rural Housing Coalition (NRHC), the oldest rural housing coalition in this country, has advocated for the improvement of rural housing conditions. The NRHC “works to promote and defend the principle that rural people have the right — regardless of income — to a decent, affordable place to live, clean drinking water, and basic community services”. They, on behalf of their members, relentlessly advocate for more government funding, improved federal policies and programs, and provide support to nonprofits that run low-income housing programs in rural areas.

All Self-Help grantees are encouraged to become a member of the National Rural Housing Coalition. Click below to find more information and learn how to join the NRHC.
