Housing Program workshop to take place on June 22

Tired of renting? Looking to buy a home? Already a homeowner and looking to make improvements? You are invited to join representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Wednesday, June 22, at the Waverly Village Offices located at 32 Ithaca St. in Waverly from 6 to 8 p.m. to learn more about Rural Development’s Single Family Housing Programs available in Tioga County.

USDA Rural Development’s Single Family Housing Program provides direct and loan guarantees to help low and moderate income persons to purchase or build safe and affordable housing in rural areas.

USDA Rural Development’s Section 504 Home Repair Program offers fixed 1 percent interest rate loans and grants to qualifying homeowners to make repairs, improvements and/or accessibility modifications to their home.

There is no down payment, no mortgage insurance, and 100 percent financing is available. There is no cost to attend this event.

To learn more about this and other programs, visit www.rd.usda.gov/NY. For questions, contact Barbara Morris at Barbara.Morris@ny.usda.gov or by telephone at (607) 753-0851, ext. 4.
