Statement On Non USDA Web Sites

USDA Rural Development has identified several lending websites that erroneously suggest that they are endorsed by USDA or serve as an official representative of USDA. While the sites have the appearance of being official USDA sites and provide information on USDA's single-family housing guaranteed loan program, they are not government web sites and are not affiliated with USDA. Some of these sites offer on-line application services. The public is encouraged to use extreme caution when providing personal or financial information to these or any other web sites that do not end in ".gov". Identified sites have been asked to remove the use of USDA logos and any implied USDA endorsement from their website.

USDA Rural Development certifies lending institutions that provide financing for single-family housing guaranteed loans. However, this certification should not be considered an endorsement of these lending institutions, nor should these lending institutions be considered representatives of USDA.  Further information on USDA housing programs and office locations can be obtained by visiting USDA Rural Development's website at:
