The Purpose Of The Guaranteed Home Ownership Loan Program Is ...to provide loans in rural areas that assist moderate to low income applicants to purchase, construct, repair or rehabilitate, or relocate a single family home. For manufactured housing, only new construction is permitted. Loans are made by local approved lenders, (participating mortgage lenders), with USDA Rural Development issuing a guarantee on the loan. Funds for repairs can only be included with the purchase of an existing home. |

Additionally, applicants must be unable to obtain conventional credit at reasonable rates and terms, must have adequate repayment ability and must have acceptable credit history.
