Going beyond the HB-2-3560

US Housing Consultants’ USDA Rural Development (RD) training seminars provide detailed information vital to ensuring proper compliance. To begin with, USDA/RD provides safe and affordable housing for the nation’s most vulnerable rural area families. To help these critical housing programs remain intact, owners/agents must do their part by operating their properties by USDA/RD regulations. However, maintaining compliance can become a challenge with the ever-changing housing regulations. Above all, failing to maintain compliance can result in dire consequences for the owner and, most importantly, the tenants.

Working with USDA/RD’s Project Requirements

USDA/RD has a wide range of requirements, from physical condition requirements to Section 504/UFAS and marketing policies that protect residents’ rights. Accordingly, we will review tenant grievance procedures, monitoring requirements for USDA, and an overview of Farm Labor Housing.
