Title: ●7 CFR Part 3565--Rural Rental Housing Change in Priority Projects Criteria | |
Abstract:
The purpose of the Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program (GRRHP) is to increase the supply of affordable rural rental housing by using loan guarantees to encourage partnerships between the Rural Housing Service (RHS or Agency), private lenders, and public agencies. 7 CFR part 3565 sets forth the regulation requirements for the GRRHP which prescribes the policies, authorizations, and procedures for the guarantee of multifamily loans authorized by Section 538, Title V, of the Housing Act of 1949.
Specifically, the change would aim to better align the current regulation with the language in the Housing Act, 1949 as amended, which would allow RHS to choose priorities applicable to the market demands and Administration priorities. As mandated by Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, the Agency must give priority to rural areas in which borrowers can best use and need guaranteed loans. The agency is reevaluating the current prioritization in smaller rural communities, in the neediest communities having the highest percentage of leveraging, having the lowest interest rate, having the highest ratio of 3-5-bedroom units to total units, or on tribal lands. |
