enable the Agencies to effectively
evaluate the financial criteria and
responsibilities for funding to stimulate
business creation and growth. The
programs work through partnerships
with public and private communitybased organizations and financial
institutions to provide financial
assistance, business development, and
technical assistance to rural businesses.
These programs help to provide capital,
equipment, space, job training, and
entrepreneurial skills that can help to
start and/or grow a business. Business
Programs also support the creation and
preservation of quality jobs in rural
areas.
The Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act, as amended,
authorizes the credit programs of the
RHS, RBCS and RUS to provide
financial assistance for essential
community facilities such as
construction of community facilities
and water and waste systems; and the
improvement, development, and
financing of businesses, industries, and
employment.
The Rural Housing Service (RHS) is
authorized under various sections of
Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as
amended, to provides financial
assistance to construct, improve, alter,
repair, replace, or rehabilitate dwellings,
which will provide modest, decent, safe,
and sanitary housing to eligible
individuals in rural areas.
Through various programs, Rural
Development provides loan and grant
funds to finance many types of projects
varying in size and complexity. The
Community Facilities program provides
affordable funding to develop essential
community facilities in rural areas. The
Business and Industry (B&I) Loan
Programs provide financial backing and
technical assistance to stimulate
business creation and growth. The
programs work through partnerships
with public and private communitybased organizations and financial
institutions to provide financial
assistance, business development, and
technical assistance to rural businesses.
Under the B&I Loan Program, lenders
need the legal authority, financial
strength, and sufficient experience to
operate a successful lending program.
This includes lenders that are subject to
supervision and credit examination by
the applicable agency of the United
States or a State.
The collection of information covered
by the forms allows Agencies to

equity from applicants for the planning
and performing of construction and
other development work.
