In housing alone. 150 families have been assisted in obtaining new homes which they built with the help of their neighbors and with money loaned by the HELP program. Each homeowner acquired a "sweat equity" in his house through his own labor. and repayment of the loans is geared to the family income. In adult education. more than 4.000 seasonal and migrant workers have attended classes in the 50 community centers. and 1.200 children have been enrolled in the child care and development program. These workers are trained in mechanics. carpentry. welding. home economics. basic education. or general education development. It is significant that during the 2 years the program has operated. these migrant and seasonal workers formed six credit unions with $25.000 in assets. Further. they have conducted book drives and solicited donations for the establishment of community libraries in rural areas which have never had a library outside of the local schools. Six such libraries have been established without cost to the Federal Government.
