With annual appropriations of about $574 million for fiscal years 1992 and 1993, the program provides low-interest loans to borrowers to build and rehabilitate affordable housing projects in rural areas. This report discusses the (1) Farmers Home Administration's (FmHA) procedures for allocating funds to states and selecting projects within states and whether these procedures have caused project concentration in a relatively small number of states; (2) extent to which FmHA's allocation and project award procedures reflect actual housing needs; (3) extent to which states have used program funds, including the amount of unused funds that have been reallocated to other states; and (4) size and status of the rural rental housing portfolio as of September 30, 1992. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-141/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-141.htm GAO/RCED-94-141 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-141 Letter Report GAO/RCED-94-141; Rental Housing: Distribution and Use of FmHA's Rural Rental Housing Program Funds; Federal/state relations Program abuses Rental housing Low income housing Federal aid for housing Appropriated funds Funds management Allocation (Government accounting) Property improvement loans Rural housing programs FmHA Rural Rental Housing Program FmHA Section 515 Program FmHA Rural Rental Assistance Program HUD Section 8 Housing Assistance Program Pennsylvania California South Dakota FmHA Rural Housing Targeting Set-Aside Program
