The Chora leers of Rue for J. They and The Pioneers will sing Sunday at J. W. Turlington School at 2 p.m. The Pioneers FmHA Home Loan Regulations Eased 1 he U.S. Department of Agri culture has changed its regulations to make it possible for more people to get single-family home loans through L'SDA's Farmers Home Administration. Larry W. Godwin, state director of the North Carolina USDA rural credit agency, said the revised rules change the income eligibility cri teria. permit funds for approved solar heating, and make numerous changes to clarify and simplify operation of the agency's single family housing programs. 1'he Farmers Home Administra tion has a wide range of housing programs including mortgage I o a r, s tor single-family homes, housing repair and rehabilitation loans, rural rental housing, farm labo"- housing, and self-help hous ing loans. Betorc the new regulations were implemented, they were reviewed .tnd revised extensively. Godwin s.ltd One of the major changes is the elimination of a single, nationwide income eligibility level. Previously, only families with incomes below S I ^.n(K' were considered eligible for Farmers Home housing loans, ex cept in \l.tska and Hawaii. Income ceilings now vary by economic areas and arc based on a percentage of the area median income. Low income is defined as SO percent ot the area median income. Applicants who qualify for mod crate- income loans will pay interest rates prevailing when the loan is closed I'he current interest rate charged by farmers Home is 13.25 percent . For those with incomes at or below NO percent of the area median income level, the agency provides "interest credits." which reduce the amount of interest the borrower pays, sometimes to as low as one percent. Using data developed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Farmers Hon\e Administration now sets income eligibility limits in more than 500 economic areas throughout the nation. Income eligibility ranges from SI "*.000 in some of the nation's poorer counties to S23.500 in the more affluent areas, and up to S33.000 in Alaska. The low-income levels at which applicants become eligible tor "interest credits." range from SI 1.500 to SI 8.000. In addition, the new regulations reduced the si/e of allowable living area in new homes to 1.200 square feet from 1.300 square feet. North Carolina income eligibility ranges from S20.500 to SI 7,500. The low-income levels in North Carolina at which applicants be come eligible for "interest credits." range from S 15.000 to SI 2.000. Income limits in Hoke County is S18.000 with "interest credits" being available to families whose income does not exceed SI 1 .500. The North Carolina agency oper ates a statewide program of hous ing. farm and community facility loans through N4 county offices. 12 district offices, and a state head quarters in Raleigh. N.C. Loans are made without regard to race, sex. religion, national origin, mari tal status, or handicapped condi tion.
