[GSBN] HUD and straw bale

[Mark Jensen]

Greetings fellow straw enthusiasts,

 

I have a question for y'all. Our organization Red Feather Development Group
is looking into possible funding via one of the national housing nonprofits
that receive federal dollars to administer a  HUD Self-help homeownership
opportunity program (SHOP). Do any of you know if HUD recognizes straw bale
construction as fundable housing? Red Feather doesn't build enough homes a
year to qualify on their own and would need to be umbrella'd under a larger
program, but again the bigger question would be HUD recognizing straw bale
construction.

 

Thanks for any input.

Mark
