Performance ................................................................................................ 29-70 RURAL DEVELOPMENT HOUSING PROGRAMS Purpose Statement The Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 established the Rural Housing Service (RHS)1 with the direct mission to improve the quality of life in rural areas. The agency is comprised of three program areas: (1) Single Family Housing (SFH), (2) Multi-Family Housing (MFH), and (3) Community Facilities (CF). RHS delivers both housing programs authorized by the Housing Act of 1949 (Housing Act), as amended and the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, and community facilities programs authorized by the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act of 1972, as amended. In section 2 of the Housing Act, Congress outlined its Declaration of National Housing Policy which stated, “The Congress declares that the general welfare and security of the Nation and the health and living standards of its people require housing production and related community development sufficient to remedy the serious housing shortage, the elimination of substandard and other inadequate housing through the clearance of slums and blighted areas, and the realization as soon as feasible of the goal of a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family, thus contributing to the development and redevelopment of communities and to the advancement of the growth, wealth, and security of the Nation.” In response to this Congressional mandate, RHS strives to improve the quality of life and invigorate local economies in rural America by: 1) providing decent, safe, and affordable housing, and 2) developing community infrastructure. In partnership with nonprofits, Indian tribes, State and Federal government agencies, and local communities, RHS provides technical assistance, and loan and grant funds to assist rural communities and individuals. Authorization and Program Descriptions RHS offers a SFH program for individual homeownership, a MFH program which offers rental housing for rural communities across America, and a CF program which provides affordable funding to develop essential community facilities in rural areas. Programs do not require annual reauthorization and funding is provided through yearly Congressional budget appropriations. Funding can be one year, no year or multiple years, depending upon the program. RHS programs include: Section 502 SFH Guaranteed Loan Program. Authorized in 1990 by the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, this program provides low- and moderate-income borrowers access to mortgage credit by guaranteeing loans issued by agency-approved private sector lenders. By providing government guarantees of 90 percent of the loan principal, the government encourages private sector lenders to offer mortgages to rural residents with repayment ability and household incomes of up to 115 percent of the area median who would otherwise be unable to obtain credit. Loans may finance the full construction and acquisition cost of a property up to 100 percent of the appraised value, and the loan amount may include the guarantee fee. Mortgages have 30-year terms with fixed rates negotiated with the lender that cannot exceed an agency-determined cap. Financing may also be used to refinance existing USDA guaranteed or direct loans. The program maintains its neutral or slightly negative subsidy status through guarantee and annual loan fees. Section 502 SFH Direct Loan Program. Authorized by the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, fixed-interest direct loans are available to low- and very low-income families unable to obtain credit elsewhere to purchase, build, repair or renovate, modest homes in rural areas. The standard loan term is 33 years; however, 38-year loans are available to borrowers unable to afford a 33-year repayment structure. Program-eligible, credit-worthy borrowers may obtain 1 Other applicable legislation: Consolidated Farm and Rural

Funding for most, but not all, TBED-related programs would maintain nearly level funding. The White House is accentuating the budget’s generous support for advanced manufacturing, clean energy and STEM education, and again is asking that the R&D tax credit be made permanent. Comparisons to the previous year’s funding level are made against the FY12 budget as enacted, unless otherwise noted. 1 Entrepreneurship, Regional Innovation and Capital Access Funding for Economic Development Administration programs would be $182 million (17.3 percent decrease) under the proposed budget. A new initiative, Regional Innovation Strategies, would receive $25 million to encourage regional clusters and innovation and to administer the i6 and Jobs

  • USDA Is Committed to Improving the Health and Wellbeing of Older Adults
    USDA is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of older adults, ensuring that all older Americans have access to healthy food, and that older adults in rural America have access to housing. Low-income older Americans continue to be an underserved and vulnerable population, due in part to administrative complexities associated with participating in federal assistance programs. USDA is working with state and federal partners to reduce participation barriers and increase access for seniors. Nutrition Assistance: Seniors represent a particularly vulnerable demographic to food insecurity, with unique health, social, and nutrition challenges that can include decreased mobility, limited shopping and cooking ability, and health challenges related to food insecurity. USDA works to positively impact the nutritional and health outcomes of these low-income seniors through seven nutrition assistance programs that are available support the health and nutrition of older Americans. Three of USDA's nutrition assistance programs are exclusively for seniors; the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, and the Nutrition Services Incentive Program which is run in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program serves more than 4 million seniors. Only 42 percent of eligible elderly individuals participate in SNAP, compared to 83 percent for all eligible people. USDA has worked to decrease participation barriers for older Americans by simplifying the application and recertification processes and providing additional accommodations for elderly and disabled participants. • Access to Purchase and Delivery Services: In July of 2015, USDA issued a proposed rule that would allow homebound, older Americans and disabled persons to use their SNAP benefits to purchase groceries through purchase and delivery services run by government agencies and non-profit organizations.

  • Rental Assistance in Urban and Rural Areas
    Rental Assistance in Urban and Rural Areas Updated May 12, 2015 The federal government’s three largest rental assistance programs — Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, Public Housing, and Multifamily1 units — provide over 4.5 million units of assisted housing. Thirteen percent, or 611,484, of those units are located outside of metropolitan areas, including nearly 10 percent of voucher households (in 2014), and 18 percent of public housing units and 13 percent of multifamily units (in 2013). In addition to these programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Housing Service provided rental assistance to an additional 268,020 households in 2014.2 Programs authorized under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act also provide funds for rental assistance in rural areas. According to HUD’s report on “worst case” needs in 2013, 84 percent of renters with “worst case” housing needs live in central cities or suburbs, while 16 percent live in non-metropolitan areas.3 While the number of federally assisted affordable rental units is sufficient to serve only about one in four eligible families, their distribution across metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas is in close proportion to relative need. The share of non-metropolitan households receiving HUD rental assistance varies considerably by state (see Table 1). In Montana, Vermont, and Wyoming, over half of these assisted households live in non-metro areas. TABLE 1 Metropolitan and Non-Metropolitan
