About Rural Development
Rural Development provides financial assistance through guaranteed loans, direct loans and some grant funds to individuals, public bodies, nonprofits, Native American tribes, and cooperatives in rural areas. We also provide technical assistance. We work with many local, regional, state and other federal agencies and groups to help provide a starting point to address business, community or housing needs.
In Illinois, Rural Development has an
outstanding loan portfolio of over $2.25billion. Programs are delivered
through offices in 12 locations as well as our State
Office in Champaign. Last fiscal year, we obligated more than
$418 million in loans, grants and guarantes to fund rural
projects in
Illinois.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for residents of rural
Illinois through programs that support
their health, safety and well-being. We are committed to the future of
rural communities.
