RHS-24-SFH-0028] Section 504 Direct Single Family Housing Home Repair Loans and Grants; Materials Pilot Program AGENCY: Rural Housing Service, USDA. ACTION: Notification of waiver. SUMMARY: The Rural Housing Service (RHS or the Agency), a Rural Development agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is issuing this document to implement a demonstration program, the Section 504 Direct Single Family Housing Loans and Grants pilot program. The Agency's intention is to evaluate the existing regulations and remove regulatory barriers to assist eligible applicants with improved ease of use for very low-income homeowners seeking to repair or rehabilitate their homes.
This document briefly discusses the new waiver and provides contact information for additional details about the pilot program. DATES: The effective date of the regulatory waiver is December 2, 2024. The duration of the pilot program is anticipated to continue until December 2, 2026, at which time the RHS may extend the pilot program (with or without modifications) or terminate it depending on the workload and resources needed to administer the program, feedback from the public, and the effectiveness of the program.
If the pilot program is extended or terminated early, the RHS will notify the public via Notice publication in the **Federal Register** . FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anthony Williams, Management and Program Analyst, Special Programs and Initiatives Branch, Single Family Housing Direct Loan Division, Rural Development, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Email: *anthonyl.williams@usda.gov;* Phone:
(202)720-9649. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority Title V, Section 504 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended; 42 U.S.C. 1474. Background The RHS offers a variety of programs to build or improve housing and essential community facilities in rural areas. The Agency offer loans, grants, and loan guarantees for single- and multifamily housing, child-care centers, fire and police stations, hospitals, libraries, nursing homes, schools, first responder vehicles and equipment, housing for farm laborers and much more. RHS also provides technical assistance loans and grants in partnership with non-profit organizations, Indian tribes, state and federal government agencies, and local communities. The RHS Single Family Housing Direct Loans and Grants Program (SFHDLGP) Division implements the Section 504 loan/grant program under 7 CFR part 3550 with the objective to assist very low-income owner occupants of single-family homes in rural areas repair or rehabilitate their homes. Loan funds are available for repairs to improve or modernize a home, make it safer or more sanitary, or remove health and safety hazards. The eligibility requirements, as described in 7 CFR 3550.103, include that a homeowner
(1)be unable to secure financial assistance at reasonable terms and conditions from a non-Agency source;
(2)lack the personal resources to meet their needs; and
(3)can demonstrate the ability to repay the Section 504 loan. For homeowners 62 years old and over at the time of application, grant funds are available to correct health or safety hazards, or remodel dwellings to make them accessible to a household member with a disability. RHS may authorize limited demonstration (pilot) programs to test new approaches to offering housing under the statutory authority granted to the Secretary, as set forth in section 506(b) of the Housing Act of 1949 (42 U.S.C. 1476(b)). Additional demonstration program authority for regulations contained in 7 CFR part 3550 is provided at 7 CFR 3550.7. Any program requirements that are statutory will remain in effect. Discussion of the New Section 504 Waiver To align with current market payment requirements and further utilize program loan funding, RHS has determined to test and evaluate the regulatory requirements under the new pilot program for the Single-Family Housing Section 504 Home Repair Loan and Grant program under the pilot program authority provided at section 506(b) of the Housing Act of 1949 (42 U.S.C. 1476(b)): The pilot program allows participants to use Section 504 loan or grant funds for the payment of construction materials prior to site delivery and without the need for the contractor to provide a surety bond. This component of the demonstration program will permit SFHDLGP to evaluate 7 CFR 1924.6(a)(12)(v)(C) which requires delivery of materials prior to payment and a surety bond. Under the demonstration program, payment in full may be made directly to the material supplier so the order can be placed or to the contractor upon receipt of paid invoice. Contractors expect up to fifty percent down prior to ordering materials or beginning work, and applicants struggle to find contractors that will work within the Agency's payment terms. This waiver is a step closer to meeting contractor expectations while still protecting applicants from fraudulent contractors that might take downpayment funds and never complete the job. Eligibility Requirements
(1)Eligble participants—Eligible participants in the Section 504 Home Repair Loan and Grant program must abide by the regulatory requirements outlined in 7 CFR 3550.
(2)Eligible States and Territories—The following twenty-five
(25)States and U.S. Territories are selected based on program usage, involvement in the Rural Partners Network, and to provide wide geographic and historic production variation for the pilot program: Alabama, Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Puerto Rico, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Paperwork Reduction Act The regulatory waivers for this pilot program contain no new reporting or recordkeeping burdens under OMB control number 0575-0172 that would require approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Non-Discrimination Statement In accordance with Federal civil rights laws and U.S. Department of Agriculture
