![["The Smithville housing project in Oklahoma involves Indian families contributing sweat equity to build their own homes with the help of IBEC. The project aims to provide modern housing for low-income families, with individuals receiving credit for their labor. The homes offer a variety of designs and materials, with the Choctaw Nation's Housing Authority overseeing the project. This initiative allows families to own homes through hard work and mutual assistance."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_63_25_0000-Housing%20and%20Urban%20Development-Indian%20Housing,%201967/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_63_25_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Smithville Choctaw Housing Project: Sweat Equity for Indian Families")
