A USDA home loan is a zero down payment mortgage for eligible rural and suburban homebuyers. With subsidies, interest rates can be lower. Section 502 direct loans can be used to build, repair, renovate, or relocate homes, or to purchase and prepare sites, including providing water and sewage facilities.

The objective of the Section 504 loan/grant program is to help very low-income owner occupants of modest single family homes in rural areas repair their homes.

For homeowners 62 and over who cannot repay a loan, grant funds are available to remove health or safety hazards, or remodel dwellings to make them accessible to a household member with a disability.
