Why don't you start volunteering and see if you would even like it the home is not free you get a down payment based on Sweat Equity but if you're not willing to do the work they don't help you with the house
If you apply as a single parent its 400. If you you apply as a couple its 500. You can have other people help you with with up to I believe half your hours. That is how many you need by the time your house is done. They will start building your house after you have put in a certain amount of that time first.
