Changes to the map of eligible areas for Rural Development home loan programs based on 2010 Census data scheduled to take effect January 15, 2014, have been postponed to October 1, 2014 by passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014.
To view the new maps go to http://eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov and select "Future Eligible Areas" on the left menu.
NOTE: Complete applications received before October 1, 2014 will continue to use rural area definitions based on 2000 Census data.
