developers and potential borrowers seeking approval of rural rental 
housing loans with the assistance of professionals such as attorneys,

properties in an affordable decent, safe and sanitary manner. The forms 
and information provide the basis for making determinations of 
eligibility and the need and feasibility of the proposed housing.
    The information provides the basis for determining that rents 
charged are appropriate, the housing is well-maintained, and proper 
priority is given to those tenants eligible for occupancy. Information 
is collected to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of 
loan, grant and/or subsidy agreements.
