We serve as a resource for USDA Guaranteed Lending, policy/regulatory questions, provide leadership and advocacy for USDA Guaranteed Lending programs and keep our members up to date with industry news and changes. Rural Development loan programs are crucial to providing access to capital to Rural America. Without these programs, residents and jobs outmigrate to urban areas causing economic contraction in rural communities. Our association strives to help facilitate, grow and promote private-public partnerships, development, innovation and employment in Rural America.
