The Rural Housing Service (RHS or the Agency), a Rural Development (RD) agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is issuing this notice to announce a pilot for the Single Family Housing Section 502 direct loan program (Section 502) to test alternative values of modest housing for self-help housing and when affordable housing products are provided. The Agency intends to evaluate the impact of authorizing the value of properties constructed through the self-help program to exceed the maximum area loan limit under RHS's current regulations; and permitting grants and other affordable housing products to exceed the area loan limit for all Section 502 loans. This notice outlines the pilot parameters and provides contact information for additional details about the pilot.
The agency’s own summary, as published.
