USDA Single Family Housing — Full Verbatim Text
USDA’s Single Family Housing rules — free, verbatim, and searchable. 245 sections, carrying 646 extracted requirements: the HB-1-3555 Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook (176 sections) and 7 CFR Part 3550 for the Direct program.
Two different programs. The Guaranteed program (HB-1-3555) is originated by approved lenders; the Direct program (7 CFR Part 3550) is originated by Rural Development itself. Their requirements are not interchangeable, so they are listed separately below.
