NEED A LITTLE EXTRA CASH?
Refer your friends and family to build
with Self-Help Homes and earn up to
$1,500 cash and/or other prizes!
Self-Help Homes (SHH) is
rolling out a new Referral
Incentive Program. Beginning February 11, 2013 and going
through June 30, 2013, SHH will pay
$500 to the first three (3) people that
refer a family that qualifies for the Self-
Help Program and that family closes on a 502 Loan with USDA-Rural
Development (USDA-RD). Also, all other people, beyond the first three (3), that
refer a qualified family to the Self-Help Program and that family closes on a 502
Loan with USDA-RD will be paid $250 for each referral.
You will want to start referring all your
friends and family to SHH because we
are also going to reward you for sending
in your friends and family to see if they
qualify. If you refer someone to
Self-Help Homes and they fill out a
Pre-Qualification Application and list
you as the person referring them, and
then they don’t qualify for the program,
SHH will provide you with a $25.00 Gift Card to a local restaurant or store.
You must make sure that your name, address and phone number are listed on the
Pre-Qualification Application at the first appointment for any payout on these
incentives. If the name is added after the first appointment, the incentive will
not be awarded. Don’t wait! Refer someone today so you won’t miss out on
these great incentives! Some restrictions apply.

Self-Help Homes is Currently Accepting
Applications for MSH Homes in
Elk Ridge, Santaquin and Heber Cities
Crestview
Estates
Elk Ridge
Self-Help Homes (SHH) is currently accepting applications from families that are interested in
building their own home through the Mutual Self-Help Program. SHH has recently purchased
72 lots in three different subdivisions. Two of the subdivisions, Crestview Estates and
Elk Ridge Meadows, are located in the beautiful foothills of the scenic community of Elk
Ridge. This quiet community offers spectacular views of the valley and surrounding mountains,
wonderful neighbors, some of the best schools in the state, a safe environment for your family
and a place to call home. Another subdivision where we have purchased new lots is Majestic
Mountain Acres in Heber City. These lots have a dramatic view of Mount Timpanogos and are
located close to schools, shopping, and all the outdoor activities that come with living in the
Heber Valley! We also have eight lots in the Morley Meadows Subdivision in Santaquin. If
you are interested in living in any of these great subdivisions, please contact us as soon as
possible. We are planning to start groups in these areas very soon.

THANK YOU!
In celebration of being in their
new Mutual Self-Help (MSH) home
for one year, the Adam & Chiara West
family wanted to show their
appreciation to the funders and
others who helped them attain
their dream of home ownership.
With huge smiles on their faces, the
West Family posed in front of their
beautiful MSH home that was built in
the Winegar Estates Subdivision in
Payson, Utah. They built their home
along with eight other families and
contributed more than 1300 hours to
build the nine homes in their group.
Congratulations, West Family!

A beautiful lawn adds value to your property. Over time, all areas of the
lawn experience some compaction. Heavy traffic areas have greater soil
compaction, which makes it difficult for roots to breathe or get water and
nutrients.. Aerating in spring and fall, yearly, will allow you to water less
often and for shorter periods of time so your water bill will be lower.
The best aeration is done with a power aerator that removes cores of sod.
They are available at hardware and equipment rental shops, but you can
hire a professional for not much more. Be sure to water your lawn heavily
the night before to make sure the ground is soft but not muddy. Aerate
heavy traffic areas in two directions.
The cores contain micro organisms that will help to break down thatch in
your lawn so leave them on the ground to break down or be broken up with
your next mowing. Fertilize a week or two after the aeration to boost grass
growth and keep weeds down.

Healthy, Green Lawn
