The FWHGH program helps fund new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of owner-occupied single family homes for agricultural workers, with a priority given to lower income households.
Financial assistance is available as deferred-payment loans for acquisition of newly constructed single family homes in USDA approved rural areas, owner occupied rehabilitation, and grants for acquisition of new single-family manufactured homes.
