This is really cool- it’s green and it helps poor people get into homes of their own. It warms my shriveled little heart, I tell ya. Listen to this:

To qualify for the project, potential participants must provide $500,
good credit, and proof of a stable job. The homes are built by the
future owners, along with mentors who help to guide the unskilled
workers. A 1-person home will only be built at 240 square feet, which
increases energy efficiency, along with the homes’ uses of insulation,
tank-less hot water heaters, and rain barrels.

Fab-u-lous. Keep up the good fight, people.
