Are you still looking for this kind of information? If so, there is an
agency in San Diego County called Esperanza which runs a home building
program in Tijuana. Groups stay at a dorm-like home there and do house
building during the day, eating and conversing with the families for whom
they are building the homes. This might be a possibility or a model for
any programs you are doing.
Sorry this is such a late response (and perhaps no longer of use), I just
went through my mailboxes and noticed it. Let me know if you would like
further contact information for Esperanza.
