The mission of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)  Rural Development is to improve the quality of life in rural areas.  Housing and Community Facilities Programs helps rural communities and individuals by providing loans and grants for housing and community facilities. USDA provides funding for single family homes, apartments for low-income persons or the elderly, housing for farm laborers, childcare centers, fire and police stations, hospitals, libraries, nursing homes, schools, and much more.

In partnership with non-profits, Indian tribes, state and federal government agencies, and local communities, HCFP creates packages of technical assistance and loan and grant funds to assist more rural communities and individuals.
