SELF-HELP HOUSING
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
(Continued from last week)
Q) Do we have- to start paying
the loan o ff right away?.
A) No. Families do not have to
pay on their loans until the house
is finished and they move into it.
This way, they aren't p a y in g a
double payment; one on the loan
and one for rent until their new
home is finished. This is called DE
FERRED PAYMENT. However, this
payment must be' made up, but
this amount is s p r e a d over the
whole time that the family has to
pay off the loan.
Q) How much w ill the payments
be?
A) The payments on a loan for
$6000 are $28 each month; on a
loan for $8000, payments are $37
each month; on a $10,000 loan,
$46 each month.
On Saturday, February 5, a film
about self-help housing was shown
in the Hillsboro Opportunity Cen
ter. This film was made by the
American F r ie n d s Service Com-
rhittee, and is about families in
California that built their homes as
a Self-Help Housing Project. The
film is available in both English and
Spanish, and the VML is going to
buy one of each for the use of
families wanting to know about
self-help housing.
The Chairman of the Board is Rev. Kent D. Law

PREGUNTAS Y RESPUESTAS:
CASAS DE AYUDA MUTUA
(Continuación de la semana pasada)
P) ¿Debemos de e m p e z a r a
pagar el p r é s ta m o inmediata
mente?
C) No. Las familias no tienen que
empezar a pagar sus préstamos
hasta que la casa esté terminada y
la familia empieza a vivir en ella.
De esta manera, no están pagando
doble; una vez en el préstamo y
otra en renta de otra casa. Esta se
llama "DEFERRED PAYMENT." Sin
embargo, este pago tiene que ser
arreglado, pero la cantidad esté
pagada durante todo el tiempo que
la familia esta pagando el préstamo.
P) ¿Cuanto serán los pagos?
