USDA/RHS RIN: 0575-AB99 Publication ID: Spring 2003 
Title: Direct Section 502 and 504 Single-Family Housing Program 
Abstract: The Rural Housing Service reopened the comment period on four sections of this regulation seeking potential changes to the definition of modest housing and calculation of payment subsidies. The Agency has reviewed the comments and will be publishing minor corrections and clarifications in the existing regulation. In addition, the Agency will provide an updated definition of modest housing moving away from reliance on the section 203(b) mortgage limits set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Agency will use more localized data and provide clearer guidance to ensure compliance with our mission to finance housing that is decent, safe, sanitary, and modest. No changes in the payment subsidy are anticipated.
