The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced changes to the rural areas that are eligible for its housing programs. The changes are based on the 2020 census data, which showed that some areas that were previously considered rural have become more urbanized.
These areas in North Carolina have been removed from eligibility for USDA rural housing programs.
The USDA’s rural housing programs offer a variety of options for homebuyers, including single-family home loans, multifamily loans, and rental assistance. These programs can help homebuyers purchase or rent a home in a rural area at an affordable price.
