USDA Single Family Housing Direct Home Loans
USDA Rural Development’s Section 502 Direct Loan Program provides a path to homeownership for low, very-low, and moderate income families living in rural areas to make affordable homeownership a reality. This program assists moderate, low, and very low-income applicants obtain decent, safe and sanitary housing in eligible rural areas (any area or town less than 35,000 people) by providing payment assistance to increase an applicant’s repayment ability. No down payment is required. Payment assistance is a type of subsidy that reduces the mortgage payment, and the amount of assistance is determined by the adjusted family income.
