include a $6.00 Standard Amenity fee
that will be charged year-round. Fees
are assessed based on the level of

of any development (construction) work

occupancy, the tenant’s income may
exceed these limits; however, rents,
including utilities, are restricted to no
more than 30 percent of the 115 percent
of area median income for the term of
the loan.
The Secretary is authorized under
Section 510 (k) of the Housing Act of
1949 to prescribe regulations to ensure
that these Federally-funded loans are
made to eligible applicants for
authorized purposes. The lender must
evaluate the eligibility, cost, benefits,
feasibility, and financial performance of
the proposed project. The Agency
collects this information from the lender
to determine if funds are being used to
meet the goals and mission of Rural

submitted by the lender to the Agency

evaluate, and account for Government
resources.
