USDA update – Funding the Unfunded

The USDA home loan program frequently runs out of funding. It happens regularly, and that’s one of the reasons for the big changes to USDA loans that happened this month.

However, the bank I work for sent out an announcement today that we can still take applications for, lock interest rates for, underwrite, and fund USDA home loans!

Basically, this means that the funding shortage is temporary, and that my bank will hold the loan until funds become available again.

USDA – keep the hope alive!

So, if you are hearing that there is no money for USDA home loans, rest assured that this is temporary. My bank is a prudent lender, and they wouldn’t continue funding USDA loans unless the shortage was a short-term issue.
