USDA Rural Development Single Family Housing Programs provide homeownership opportunities to low and moderate-income rural Americans through several loan, grant, and loan guarantee programs.  The programs also make funding available to individuals to finance vital improvements necessary to make their homes decent, safe, and sanitary. 

USDA Rural Development Multi-Family Housing Programs offer Rural Rental Housing Loans to provide affordable multi-family rental housing for very   low-, low-, and moderate-income families; the elderly; and persons with disabilities.  This is primarily a direct mortgage program, but funds may also be used to buy and improve land and to provide necessary facilities such as water and waste disposal systems.  Additionally, deep subsidy rental assistance is available to eligible families.

Fiscal Year 2010 Designated Places List

In establishing the Multi-Family Housing programs, lawmakers included a provision for targeting assistance to the geographic areas that most need it. To meet this requirement, the Agency identifies certain areas as “designated places,” which are rural areas where development of a rental project will further the program’s goals.  Applications for Section 515 new construction loans will be accepted for listed communities only.  Communities on this list are considered equal with no regard to their order on the list.  Inclusion on this list does not indicate that a need or demand for Section 515 housing has been established.
