43 years of service in the San Joaquin Valley
Self-Help Enterprises
is dedicated to self-help housing, sewer and water development,
housing rehabilitation, multifamily housing and homebuyer programs
in the San Joaquin Valley of California. The goal of Self-Help Enterprises
is to help farm laborers and other low-income families to help themselves.

Here, in the world’s most productive agricultural area,
there is an astonishing quantity of inadequate, if not hazardous
housing. The people who provide the source of labor for the agricultural
fields can find little except substandard housing, and have incomes
too low to qualify for standard new home loans. Most are working
families who, despite their labors, have known only poverty. They
have reared their children in places that are unsafe, unsanitary
and a far cry from the American dream of homeownership.

These are families and communities effectively hidden from mainstream
America and untouched by it's rising prosperity. Yet they are families
with dreams and determination and the willingness to work hard.
All they need is someone to bridge the gulf between dreams and
reality. |
