Riepilogo

The Rural Housing Service (RHS), formerly Rural Housing and Community Development Service (RHCDS), a successor Agency to the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), is streamlining and reengineering its regulations and will be utilizing private sector processes and techniques in the administration of its direct SFH portfolio. This action is taken to reduce unnecessary federal regulations, improve customer service, and improve the agency's ability to achieve greater efficiency, flexibility and effectiveness in managing its SFH portfolio. The intended effect of this action is to improve service to rural America and comply with the National Performance Review's (NPR's) goal of reducing unnecessary federal regulations.
