Summary of Collection: The Rural

the U.S. Department of Agriculture

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of Agriculture to issue loan guarantees
for the acquisition of new or existing
dwellings and related facilities to
provide decent, safe, and sanitary living
conditions and other structures in rural
areas.
The purpose of the Single-Family
Housing Guaranteed Loan Program
(SFHGLP) is to assist low and moderateincome individuals and families in
acquiring or constructing a single-family
residence in designated rural areas with
loans originated and serviced by private
lenders. Eligibility for this program
includes very low, low, and moderateincome families or persons whose
income does not exceed 115 percent of
the median income for the area, as
determined by the Secretary.
The SFHGLP was authorized under
the Cranston-Gonzalez National
Affordable Housing Act and the Agency
issued a final rule implementing the
SFHGLP on April 17, 1991, under 7 CFR
part 1980–D. The program launched as
a pilot in 20 States on May 17, 1991,
and was offered nationwide in 1992.
During the implementation process, the
Agency explored methods of improving
the program to structure it for use in the
mortgage lending community.
Need and Use of the Information:
Information is collected from both a
potential homebuyer and lender. To
participate in the program, lenders must
submit to standards which ensure the
loan objectives of the SFHGLP are met.
The lender submits qualifications to the
Agency and enters into an agreement
that outlines both the lender and
Agency’s commitments and
responsibilities under the guaranteed
program. Information from a homebuyer
includes financial documents such as
confirmation of household income,
assets and liabilities, a credit record,
evidence the homebuyer has adequate
repayment ability for the loan amount
requested and if the condition and
location of the property meet program
guidelines. All information collected is
vital for the Agency to determine if
borrowers qualify for all assistance for
which they are eligible.
