Single Family Housing Programs
Stakeholder
Announcement
The
Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013
signed into law on March 26 extends the eligibility of communities
that were eligible for housing programs administered by the Rural
Housing Service (Single Family and Multi Family Housing Programs) on
September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2013.
For all other Rural Development programs,
USDA will use the 2010 Census data to
determine eligibility for rural areas beginning on March 27, 2013.
USDA Rural Development is issuing an
Administrative Notice to appropriate staff to provide more detailed
direction on the implementation of Census data in light of the
Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2013.
Please contact your local USDA Rural Development office with
any specific questions.

specific areas, including an interactive mapping tool, visit:

Guaranteed Loan File Reviewing Status
Georgia Rural Development's current turn time for conditional
commitments is 5-10 business days from the date the complete file is
received from the lender. (Borrowers and Realtors should
contact their lender for individual file status)
All Files (GUS Accept, GUS Full Doc, GUS
Refers, Manuals and Refi’s) for origination should be emailed to
ra.gagrh@ga.usda.gov
Read your GUS Findings. Submit required documentation
All Loan Note Guarantee requests (closing
files) should be emailed to
ra.grhclosings@ga.usda.gov
We are currently receiving 20 to 30 files per day to review and
process. NO rush request will be accepted. The files are reviewed in
date/time order the complete file is received. The person within your
company that sends the origination package will get a confirmation
email of the date/time the package was accepted by Rural
Development. You can then determine where your file is in the review
line based on the current day we are reviewing (posted in red
below). Please keep the phone calls/emails to RD for the underwriter
only. Continuous update request through email/phone calls takes away
from the review time and delays review time for your file as well as
other files. Thanks for your business, patience and understanding.
Reviewing Status, Friday, May
