Farm Labor Housing Program (Section 514)
The Housing and Community Facilities Programs Farm Labor Housing program is the only nationwide program designed to provide housing for farm laborers. Loan funds may be used to buy, build, improve, or repair housing for farm laborers, including persons whose income is earned in aquaculture (fish and oyster farms) and those engaged in on-farm processing. Funds can be used to purchase a site or a leasehold interest in a site; to construct housing, day care facilities, or community rooms; to pay fees to purchase durable household furnishings; and to pay construction loan interest.
The Farm Labor Housing program is the only exception to the Housing and Community Facilities Programs rural service area. Funds may be used in urban areas for nearby farm labor.
