Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program
SHOP funds are awarded to national and regional non-profit organizations and consortia to facilitate and encourage innovative homeownership opportunities on a national, geographically diverse basis through the provision of self-help homeownership housing programs.
SHOP funds must be used for land acquisition, the installation or improvement of infrastructure, and for reasonable and necessary planning, administration and management costs.

The construction costs of the dwellings must be funded with other leveraged public and private funds.
SHOP homeowners must contribute a significant amount of sweat equity towards the purchase of their units.
Donated volunteer labor is also required.
Assisted units must be decent, safe, and sanitary non-luxury dwellings that comply with local building and safety codes and standards.
These units must be sold to eligible low-income homebuyers at prices below the prevailing market price.
The homebuyer�s sweat equity contribution must not be mortgaged or otherwise restricted upon future sale of the SHOP unit.
SHOP grantees may award SHOP funds to affiliate organizations to carry out the grantee�s SHOP program.
These affiliates must be located within the grantee�s service area.
