Rural America’s Partner in 

Prosperity

USDA Rural Development invests in

rural America with loan, grant, and

loan guarantee programs because

we understand a strong community is

rooted in its people. The commitment

and resources we bring to rural

communities helps drive economic

security and prosperity. Our programs

expand access to high-speed

internet, electric, and transportation

infrastructure, and support business

growth, healthcare, education, housing,

and other community essentials.

We stand ready to be your partner in

prosperity for rural America. Contact us
