Families have been interviewed to receive a house and to qualify they have to have a lot paid for or nearly paid for. It is arranged ahead of time for a slab foundation to be poured and lumber to be delivered. Two houses will be built for two families by about 50 people in three days. The group will range in age from 2 years old to 75 years old. Many come as a family.
