it was a while ago, and it wasn't a sanctioned HforH build, but it was the same idea. we drove down into redidential tijuana and camped out on a big flat abandoned mining area, and every day for a week we drove into a neighborhood and built a house. we had no power out there, so the whole deal from the foundation up to the framing, spackeling, and roofing was done by hand. great experience, moving a single mother and her five kids out of a broken garden shed and into something more civilised. i'd definitely get involved if you have the opputunity.
