Self-Help Enterprises is a national community development nonprofit based in Visalia, California, that partners with low-income families to build and sustain healthy homes and communities. It is recognized as a pioneer and leading provider of mutual self-help housing in the United States, offering programs that combine hands-on construction with affordable rental housing and essential water and wastewater infrastructure support. Over its fifty-year history, the organization has helped more than 6,000 families build homes, rehabilitated more than 6,000 unsafe properties, and developed over 1,300 units of affordable rental housing, while extending safe drinking water and sanitation infrastructure to more than 100 small communities. SHE serves farmworkers and other hardworking families through a portfolio that includes self-help housing with sweat equity, multi-family housing with resident services, a homebuyer program, and community development focused on water delivery and wastewater disposal. As a nonprofit in the civic and social sector, it collaborates with government agencies and local partners to expand access to reliable housing and essential water infrastructure. A recent development is Health Net, Inc.'s $4 million grant announced in June 2026 to support Morris Village, a 45-unit affordable housing project in Modesto.
