The Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) provides competitive grants to eligible national and regional nonprofit organizations and consortia to facilitate the purchase of land and development or improvement of infrastructure necessary for sweat equity and volunteer-driven homeownership initiatives. These initiatives aim to promote affordable housing for low-income individuals and families, including veterans, first responders, homeless persons, and persons with disabilities, while supporting the creation of safe and stable neighborhoods across the country. SHOP homes must be sold below market value to low-income buyers who contribute a substantial amount of sweat equity. The homes are required to be non-luxury and comply with all applicable local and state codes, zoning laws, and SHOP program standards. Applicants must propose projects that use a significant portion of SHOP funds in at least two states, directing funds specifically to land acquisition, infrastructure improvements, and limited planning and administrative costs not exceeding 10 percent of the grant. The combined average expense for land acquisition and infrastructure development cannot exceed $25,000 per unit. Construction or rehabilitation costs must be covered through leveraged public and private funding, which can also be applied to other eligible program expenses not funded by SHOP. The NOFO allocates $24 million for FY2024 and FY2025 to support these activities, and all application submissions and communications with HUD must be conducted in English through Grants.gov.
