Retraction of Non-U.S. Citizen Eligibility

The Single-Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program (SFHGLP) is immediately terminating the temporary authority originally communicated on April 29, 2022. The authority allowed some non-U.S. Citizens to be eligible to apply for a guaranteed loan. As of March 18, 2025, the temporary authority is no longer valid. Updates to Chapter 8 of Handbook 1-3555 are forthcoming.

In addition, USDA is posting a Job Aid to help assist you in determining eligibility on the USDA LINC Training and Resource Library.

Thank you for supporting the Single-Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program!
