Title: ●Payment Assistance Formula, Modest Housing Provisions, and Area Loan Limit Guidance 
Abstract: The Rural Housing Service (RHS) proposes to revise 7 CFR 3550, Direct Single Family Housing Loans and Grants, regarding payment assistance, modest housing provisions, and area loan limits. Section 502 Direct Loans provides payment assistance to assist borrowers with the mortgage payment and consequently increase affordability. The amount of assistance is calculated based on a formula that has changed, or adjusted, multiple times over the life of the 502 Direct Loan Program. The formula was modified in FY 2008 to address problems noted after implementation in 1995. The Agency seeks to adjust the formula.
