20K Home Project

Outline
The goal of this project is to build $20,000 homes with monthly payments of only $100 for low-income people who can only afford to take out a loan up to a certain amount, even with public assistance. Rural Studio has been working on this project continuously for more than 20 years. Each year, 20K homes researched, designed, and built by students are offered to local residents, allowing the accumulation of knowledge through repetition.
