USDA 502 Direct Loan Packaging Program

Low- and very low-income rural residents need opportunities for home ownership, but traditional mortgage financing is too often out of reach. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA RD) Single Family Direct Loan Program (502 direct loans) is an affordable alternative that provides subsidized mortgage loans for modest homes in rural areas.

The applicants are generally first-time homebuyers. BHO’s Certified Housing Counselor spends time with the prospective applicant to review your credit, eligibility for the program, and assists with assembling a complete application.

Once the application is assembled, the certified packager makes a recommendation and submits the file to an approved intermediary.
