Patricia - the homes aren't free. The families have mortgages that they must pay, just like everyone else. However, because the families put in so much labor (it can take almost a year working 20 hours per week), they have saved a great deal over paying someone else to do that labor, so their mortgages are lower. That's called having equity in the house, which is a very good thing.
But understand - these houses aren't "given" to anybody. You really have to work hard for one.
