USDA Rural Development Guaranteed Housing Program Centralization Complete!

December 29, 2008

After a thorough analysis of the Guaranteed Rural Housing program in Louisiana and the resources available to continue to deliver quality customer service, it was determined the program will be centralized to the State Office in Alexandria.  We feel this system will enable us to provide uninterrupted and more efficient service to our lenders and the public statewide. 

The transition began in February 2008, and we are now ready to implement the final phase of centralizing the Guaranteed Rural Housing Program in Louisiana.
 

Lafayette Area Office GRH Processing to be Centralized
Effective January 5, 2009

Guaranteed Rural Housing loan processing for participating lenders serving the following parishes (formerly served by the Lafayette Area Office) will be centralized in the State Office effective January 5, 2009: 

Acadia Allen Beauregard
Calcasieu Cameron Evangeline
Iberia Jefferson Davis Lafayette
Pointe Coupee St. Landry St. Martin
St. Mary Vermilion
