Is it possible to claim a dollar amount per hour when repairing my home when adding up housing allowance expenses?

I declared $24,000 this past year as my housing allowance but because I did a great deal of the labor I only have $20,423k in receipts.
Thanks,
Dave

using my own labor?

Approved housing allowances are through a church's governing council or committee--not just an amount you decide upon. Also, I cannot claim labor donated to my church as a volunteer, so I think you cannot claim your own labor toward a housing allowance expense. If you read a source to the contrary, please report back to this website.
