Rural Alabama is one of the state's greatest resources: small towns and communities are rich in history, architecture, recreational opportunities, and natural resources. However, often the technical and financial resources to enable these communities to reach their potential are lacking. Alabama USDA Rural Development offers rural areas of the state a committed partner to work together to improve the quality of life. USDA Rural Development helps by making low interest loans and grants for low and moderate income housing, water and wastewater systems, community facilities, and businesses which can provide jobs.

Our single family housing program is administered through our local offices. Our community and business programs initiate from our area offices. If you would like to have more information on any of our programs, please let us know. USDA Rural Development is here to serve the people of rural Alabama--this is both our mission and our commitment.
