The Rural Housing Service (RHS) is an agency within the USDA Rural Development (RD) mission area. The SFH Rural Housing Site Loan programs, implemented under 7 CFR 1822, subpart G, provide loans to qualified organizations to help them acquire, carry, and develop land in rural areas. Consistent with the Agency's commitment to delivering programs efficiently, effectively, with integrity, and with a focus on customer service, this proposed rule provides updates and improvements to streamline and simplify SFH requirements to reduce paperwork and result in process improvement. The SFH Site Loan program has evolved, and the current regulations as codified restrict the Agency’s ability to be flexible with market changes. This proposed rule is a result of routine meetings between the SFH program staff and its partners in which stakeholders provide suggestions for process improvement to reduce burden on grantees and borrowers, increase flexibility of the program and improve overall customer satisfaction.
