When most people hear the about the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) it is usually associated with standard of beef and not a rural and community development program. The Rural and Community Development “provides homeownership opportunities to rural Americans, as well as programs for home renovation and repair.” Programs like this are getting some new interest since the days of creative lending are over. A similar program, House Key State Bond, is only open to first time homebuyers but that is not the case with the Rural and Community Development programs.
