In 1985 Groundwork Institute was invited by the agrarian reform (MIDINRA) and the Directorate of Settlements (Dirreción de Asentamientos, Delegación de la Presidencia) to undertake a housing project in Nicaragua. A preliminary site visit to assess the feasibility of such a project was made by Huck Rorick and Steve Sears in September, 1985. The preliminary site visit resulted in a
joint decision to undertake a pilot project in San Dionisio. MIDINRA provided the funds for construction and expenses of technical staff in Nicaragua. Additional funds were obtained through Groundwork Institute for salaries of Groundwork technicians and out of country expenses. Design and construction work commenced in March, 1986.
