How Does SHOORP Work?
- Application Process: Submit your application to Community Action Team, including proof of ownership, income verification, and other required documents as needed.
- Needs Assessment: Upon qualification, our team will conduct a thorough needs assessment to determine the scope of rehabilitation required.
- Self-Help Plan: Collaborate with our housing advisors to create a self-help plan, outlining your responsibilities and the tasks our team will undertake.
- Build a Team: Reach out to your community. Some projects can be done by the home-owner themselves. Larger projects need volunteers- your friends and family, your neighbors or church group- we are all surrounded by people who want to see us succeed.
